Pollutant How it’s formed? How we remove it?

Carbon Incomplete Combustion (limited Catalytic Converters


Monoxide amount of O2)
C3H8(g)+3.5O2(g)→3CO(g)+4H2O(l)

Nitrogen Nitrogen from car engines and oxygen Catalytic Converters


Oxides from the air combine. NO2 is toxic and
acidic and forms acid rain
N2+O2→2NO
Sulfur Combustion of Fuels Sulfur is removed from fuels by flue gas
Dioxides SO2+H2O→H2SO3+0.5O2→H2SO4 desulfurisation.
Carbon Soot, Carbon (soot) can cause global
dimming-reflection of the sun’s light.
CH4(g)+O2(g)→C(s)+2H2O(l)
Unburnt Incomplete Combustion. Contributes Catalytic Converters.
Hydrocarbon towards formation of smog.
