Abstract

The study focus primarily on the technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness of new technologies aimed at minimizing the fuel emissions. The research aim is a minimization of polluting gases emitted from motor cars using cheap Georgian zeolite and respectively, introduction of the method offered by us by the state or some interested private company. At the first stage, under conditions of zeolite use, CO, NO, NO2 and SO2 adsorption degree will be determined for vehicles working at gasoline and diesel (low speed) and respectively, emitted gases will be passed through different quantity of sorbents (50, 100, 200, 400g) for one and the same time unit (in order to identify the optimum quantity of sorbent). Afterwards, the similar experiments will be conducted under condition of higher vehicular load, as well. The second stage includes a similar experiment, which will be conducted at some selected vehicle speed and fixed quantity of sorbent, but in case of different time durations (2, 4, 8 hours), in order to determine optimum research time.
