Abstract

The present study is to determine the efficiency of charcoal through a comparative study with and without charcoal by using an homogeneous catalytic converter device, with allows the reduction of pollution. A team of researchers and students applied charcoal to the catalytic conversion processes. In this paper important aspects of charcoal application, origin and activation mechanisms are presented. A prototype catalytic converter was modified to illustrate the process. Other experimental results are also discussed.
