The gases coming out from exhaust of an Internal combustion engine with usage of petroleum products consists of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The release of these emissions pollute the environment which lead to hazardous situations. The usage of Internal Combustion engines cannot be avoided but care should be taken either to reduce or control the emissions. How is it possible?
From Thermodynamics we know IC engine follow T-S diagram . By using Catalytic
Converter we can control the emission .
1. Exploration of other fuels that have less emission issues (perhaps more ethanol)
2. Enhancement of the efficiency of current catalytic converters.
Exhaust emission can be controlled via the following methods:
1) By applying catalytic convertors.
2) By the addition of the oxygenated fuels like ethanol, dimethyl ether or bio-diesel with conventional fuels.
3) By reducing the IC engine temperature via water or any suitable coolant source which significantly reduce the temperature of the system hence reduce the harmful pollutants.
Please find my brief review article on the said subject in the following link:

Emissions coming from internal combustion engines can be controlled by proper servicing, periodic maintanence, change of engine oil on regular basis, cleaning of filters and other parts if any.
Emissions from internal combustion engines can be controlled by keeping the engine in good working condition, regular checking of pollutions, if this is there, then engine should be properly serviced and put in condition.
Since the fuel used in internal combustion engines are hydro carbon fuels, the engine should emit steam (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Due to lack of oxygen, the emission will be carbon monoxide (CO). This is dangerous. Hence, if proper cleaning and maintanence is done, this emission can be reduced.
Emissions from internal combustion engines can be controlled by proper regular maintenance, changing of engine oil periodically, ensuring filters are in good condition and reducing carbon monoxide by supplying sufficient air required.
If possible emissions may be dissolved in some liquid and almost all of the harmful product may be absorbed
Absorbing liquid may be replenished frequently and recycling is also possible
Thank you Satish Narula for your answer. But how to reduce emissions coming from internal combustion engines?
Emissions from internal combustion engines are becoming primary concern as it is creating pollution to atmosphere. For this, the internal combustion engines can use a catalytic converter to reduce emissions, apart from this regular change of engine oil, cleaning of spark plug and carburettor will serve the purpose.
The dangerous emissions coming from internal combustion engines be carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydro carbons not properly burnt. This can be taken care by going for general and regular maintanence, regular change of oils, cleaning of filters and plugs and always keeping the vehicle under good condition.
The emissions from internal combustion engines can be controlled by proper maintainence, regular checkup, periodic engine oil changing, using good air filters and good catalytic converters.
Emissions are reduced to environment by avoiding individual transport preferring group transport, in every place where ever possible planting small trees, creating more vacant land with no huge constructions, avoiding the use of non recyclable materials etc.
