Emissions from automobiles cause major damage to the environment NOx is one of those gases responsible for enhancing the greenhouse effect. To overcome these sorts, most vehicles are employed with catalytic converter. Cerium silica is used as a catalytic material to reduce the emissions from the CI engine. Two methods such as impregnation and co-precursor are employed in the preparation of ceria silica. Ceria silica is molded into solid by adding TMOS [Tetra methyl orthosilicate], Absolute ethanol, DI water, Propylene oxide, and cerium salt. The mould used in the exhaust gas as a catalytic material after-treatment system. The study is done to reduce various exhaust emissions. The engine that is employed is a 5.2kW single cylinder CI engine. Plastic oil blend is used in this process to run the engine which is being produced by pyrolysis process from waste plastic materials.
