Automobile Catalytic Converters [E-Book] / by Kathleen C. Taylor.
The use of catalytic converters for the purification of automotive exhaust gases is a relatively new technology which was brought into existence by social pressures for the preservation of acceptable environmental conditions. The majority of catalytic practitioners have been able to watch the growth...
