Every year, the number of Compression Ignition engine automobiles is on the rise. So, there is an urgent need for combating the pollution from these vehicles. Two types of methods can be used for this purpose: One is based on pre-pollution control and the other is based on post pollution control using a device called catalytic converter. The present research paper is completely based on the detail analysis of a catalytic converter and its utility in controlling the pollution by effective reduction of the released exhaust emissions from automobiles. It paves the way the way for designing a suitable catalytic converter as per the given requirements which will effectively reduce the exhaust emissions level emitted to the atmosphere.
