Catalytic Converter
A device used to reduce emissions or pollutants produced by an internal combustion engine.
Catalytic Converters
A filter fitted to car exhausts to help remove pollution.
CFCs / Chlorofluorocarbons
Chemicals used in products like aerosols and fridge.
Catalytic Converter
An air pollution abatement device that removes pollutants from motor vehicle exhaust, either by oxidizing them into carbon dioxide and water or reducing them to nitrogen.
Catalytic Incinerator ...
Catalytic Converter - an air pollution abatement device used primarily on motor vehicles and other sources. It removes organic contaminants by oxidizing them into carbon dioxide and water through chemical reaction.
Catalytic Converter - An air pollution control device using the exhaust system of cars. The converter helps complete combustion of any fuel that was not burned in the engine and reduce the presence of other harmful emission concentrations.
Catalytic Converter: A motor vehicle pollution control device designed to reduce emissions such as oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide.
C catalytic converter
Definition (english only)
Vehicle exhaust system, which uses catalysis (a process for altering the speed of a chemical reaction) to reduce the emissions of pollutants.
CC Catalytic converters.
CELLULOSE INSULATION Insulation commonly used in construction and manufactured from waste paper (primarily newsprint) processing, with the addition of chemicals acting as retardants to fire or fibre breakdown.

A standard for automobile emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions to be met at a low temperature (i.e. 20 degrees Fahrenheit). Conventional automobile catalytic converters are not efficient in cold weather until they warm up.
coli bacteria also have other industrial uses. For example, when bacteria were added to a production line that recovers the precious metal palladium from the catalytic converters of old cars, the results were remarkable.
