AUTOMOBILE AIR POLLUTION: CONTROL EQUIPMENT--CATALYTIC CONVERTERS (CITATIONS FROM THE ENGINEERING INDEX DATA BASE)

The citations of worldwide engineering literature cover automotive catalytic converters. Included are such topics as converter design and materials, performance tests, effectiveness in pollutant reduction, catalyst poisoning, catalyst selection, chemistry involved in the emission control, and the overall feasibility of using these converters under normal driving conditions. The problem and control of sulfuric acid and sulfate emissions is also discussed. (This updated bibliography contains 273 abstracts, 70 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
