✦ Synopsis

This article summarizes several technical studies reported in the literature on catalytic conversion technology to control pollution due to automotive exhausts with specific focus on NO V reduction. While simple theoretical reactions are stated, the review concisely presents the various techniques available with their specifications and performances. Noble-metal converters, in spite of their proven-technology advantage, are considered expensive while zeolite-based catalysts are preferred today as increasingly more research findings have made this technology more mature. Conclusion and recommendations on specific applications have been presented as well.
