 Objective
• To control the pollution using of Nano particles
• To reduce emissions from the motor vehicles
• To convert the harmful combustion byproduct like CO,NO
X,HC in to harmless product

 Introduction
• A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device that
is used to convert toxic gas into less toxic gas by performing
catalyzed chemical reactions
• Nanotechnology is the also considered as the generation next
technology or the technology for the future
• It is vastly gaining popularity and acceptance due to improved
results, better performance, reduced pollution and widespread
utility.

 Introduction
• Mostly the catalytic converter used for motor vehicles (on the
market) is in a type of pellet and monolithic catalysts
• The materials made from Nobel metals, such as palladium
(Pd), Platinum (Pt) and Rhodium (Rh)
• Those metals have a high specific activity, a large degree of
volatility, easily oxidized and easily broken at high
temperature so we introduce nano particles such as oxides of
zirconium and iron in the place of palladium and platinum that
can withstand very high temperature (2715C and 1566C)

Nanometric temperature meant that
zirconium oxide zirconium
oxide is widely used in
many fields

 Problem identification
• The conventionally used catalytic converter were made of
expensive materials like palladium, platinum and rhodium but
we are going to use the zirconium and iron oxides which costs
less then the above stated materials.
• It controls the emission and reduces the formation of harmful
gases like Nox, CO2.etc…
