What is a catalytic converter

The catalytic converter converts harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions before leaving a car. When the harmful pollutants (exhaust gases) pass through a heated cat several chemical reactions take place. First harmful nitrogen oxides are reduced by separating the molecules into nitrogen and oxygen.

Then the nitrogen gets trapped within the converter, while the oxygen passes through. Next that exhaust goes through the oxidation catalyst which reduces hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by oxidizing them over the metal catalyst. A metal catalyst is usually made of a combination of platinum, rhodium, and palladium.

While the main purpose of a vehicle’s cat is to reduce harmful emissions, but it also improves your car’s fuel efficiency.
