Abstract
Properties of exhaust afterburning catalysts based on porous cellular materials (foamed metals) have been investigated. Catalysts containing oxides of base metals provide a two-to-threefold reduction of CO emis sion. Platinum-containing foamed catalysts lower the toxicity of exhau st by 85-90%. A favorable effect is demonstrated by the combined use o f afterburners and a motor oil additive based on ultradispersed copper .
