Abstract

In last few years, many techniques have developed to control emission from automobile like fuel treatment, engine modification,
EGR and catalytic converter. catalytic converter is successful and widely used equipment. In this review paper various methods
and techniques to improve performance of catalytic converter is discussed. According to literature survey change in design, shape
and material the performance of catalytic converter is changed. It had found that hexagonal shape of monolith have better
mechanical performance than square shape. Nickel based catalytic converter have reduced HC by 40 % and CO by 35%. Nobel
metals are poisonous and expensive so we may use non noble metal like Cu, Ag, Au, Fe etc.
