Abstract

Pollution has become one of the most talked issues around the world, especially the exhaust gas of diesel engines emission. Therefore, this study is intended to find ways of reducing harmful exhaust gases from diesel engines by improving the filter system using a catalytic converter with natural zeolite as the filter. Natural zeolite was used directly with no preparation. Before usage, natural zeolite was characterized using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The characterization results showed that the natural zeolite is a type of mordenite. The presence of chemicals such as natural zeolites allows the filter system to reduce CO and SO₂ molecules in diesel engine exhaust gases. Diesel engine emission testing was carried out with time variations from 3 to 21 minutes. The result explains that the emission of CO and SO₂ measured by gas analyzer declined as the test time extended. This indicates that a large amount of CO and SO₂ as the exhaust gases from diesel engine were adsorbed by natural zeolites in the catalytic converter.
