Effective Solution for Vehicular Emission Using ZSM Nanostructure and Amine Scrubbing

The consequences of air pollution by exhaust emissions of cars are manifested primarily at the local level because motor transport is the specific source of pollution. Catalytic converters are expensive, sensitive to octane booster, require a stoichiometric air-fuel rating, require high operating temperatures, and have never had a Sulphur oxides (SOx) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) solution. The aim of the project is to describe one of the potential methods for

neutralizing exhaust emissions using state of the art- chemical and mechanical operations- on the block with appropriate design approach & simultaneously focusing upon reducing the decibels from the engine. Considering the issues associated with conventional cat-cons in mind designing and building an integrated muffler cum verticular catalytic converter was adopted which can solve the problem of both exhaust gas treatment and noise reduction, inclusive of removal of gaseous pollutants along with particulate matter where reduction of smoke and noise was the main objectives with flexible nature of the model. Zeolite Molecular Sieves (ZSM-5) and Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) were the key ingredients to reduce the carbon footprint and hydrocarbon particulates. Model analysis was carried on using Pollution Under Control (PUC) testing and air flow analysis was carried on using Ansys fluent. In velocity profile, general Lagrangian approach is considered for air flow through the system where the directional-axial approach through reactor-wall interactions were observed. In the Eddy’s viscosity analysis, smooth and laminar flow of the air was seen with limited turbulence which would be beneficial for reaction conversion. Normal emission values of Carbon monoxide (CO) with improvements upto 62% in throttling case while 82% in case of idling and Hydrocarbons (HC) reduction upto 57% in throttling; to almost 99.99% in case of idling were observed. Noise reduction statistics showed decrement of almost 5 dBs in average. In this project, using a common basic solution in a simple mechanical design, an economical model was fabricated to have efficiency more than conventional catalytic converters. As pollutants are captured, they can be used again, so that all the key points which respond the principles of sustainability, have been revised and considered while making the model.
