Abstract

Now-a-days the automobiles are very essential needs of human beings. The world without automobiles is unimaginable at present scenario. But the major problem corresponding to the automobiles are unwanted emissions from the engine exhaust. The unwanted emission contains CO, CO2, HC, SOX, NOX, etc., control of these gases are very essential at this scenario, because it leads to harm injuries to living things and environment. So, we are going to introduce four methods to reduce these exhaust emissions. These are adding additives method, in this we adding the 2- ethoxy ethanol and 2- methoxy ethanol with fossil fuels which can reduce the of CO2 gas emission from the vehicles. Then HHO technology to improve the fuel consumption & reduce CO2, NOX level during the combustion process. Then the exhaust gas was treated with the main technology, called charcoal absorber to reduce the CO, HC level and NaOH silencer reduces more than two in third of carbon dioxide.

Keywords: 2-Ethoxy Ethanol, 2-Methoxy Ethanol, Baking Soda, Perforated Tube, Activated Charcoal and HHO.

The advent of “first generation” catalytic converters in 1975 significantly reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. The use of converters provided a huge indirect benefit as well. Because lead inactivates the catalyst, 1975 saw the widespread introduction of unleaded fuels. This resulted in dramatic reductions in ambient lead levels and alleviated many serious environmental and human health concerns associated with lead pollution The next major milestone in vehicle emission control technology came in 1980- 81. In response to tighter standards, manufacturers equipped new cars with even more sophisticated emission control systems. These systems generally include a “three-way” catalyst (which converts carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water, and also helps reduce nitrogen oxides to elemental nitrogen and oxygen), plus an on-board computer and oxygen sensor.

Here, in this paper we are using various technologies to reduce unwanted emissions. The technologies like adding additives are initially by the addition of 2- ethoxy ethanol and 2- methoxy ethanol with fossil fuels which can reduce the of CO2 gas emission from the vehicles. Then HHO technology to improve the fuel consumption & reduce CO2, NOX level during the combustion process. Then the exhaust gas was treated with the main technology charcoal absorber to reduce the CO, HC level and NaOH silencer reduces more than two in third of carbon dioxide. We are using these technologies like additives, activated charcoal does not affect the human beings. We are must be avoided all the toxic gases by using various technologies. Composition of the normal petrol engine exhaust is as follows:
