Three of the four major car exhaust constituents are CO, NOx and CO2.
Now, it is known that NOx is so written (and called "oxides of
Nitrogen") because "x" can have a great many values, e.g. NO2, NO3,
NO5, etc. Hasn't anyone ever thought of processing the exhaust gas
such that the CO and CO2 might be converted to more benign compounds?
CO3, CO4, CO12 etc? As an alternative, what about splitting the CO and
CO2 molecules to give O2 and elemental C? The O2 would be easy enough
to dispose of. The C would have to be in a form that would facilitate
handling. Perhaps it could be precipitated as a fine powder and
evacuated from a storage device onboard the vehicle when refuelling.

Either or both of these strategies could be used to help attain
copmliance with the Kyoto treaty, together with
autothermobarocatalytic fuels.

CO4 is Carbon Tetroxide. CO12 is Carbon Duodec(a)oxide. Learn some science.

No such things as NO3, NO5, CO4, CO5 ......
N2O3 and N2O5 do exists

To split CO or CO2 back to C and O2 will reqire same amount of energy as was
genrated by their formation + process ineffecincy (assuming CO2 came from C +
O2). A loosing porposition at best!

And where would the energy come from that would reduce the C of the COx
to C and the oxidize the O of COx to O2 ?

No, Lloyd. No one has ever thought of maybe converting auto exhaust to more
benign compounds. Never ever ever. You are so smart to think of that the
very firstest time.

Your delusion is Uncle's fantasy - no catalytic converters.

Provide literature citations for CO4 and CO12 or stuff them back in

Hey, you dude, you parker_...@yahoo.de, doesn't that translate roughly
into "Lloyd Parker shits and yodels in Germany", or "Lloyd Parker yodels in a
shithouse in Germany" ?
The real Parky-pooh is or used to be chemistry professor at lpa...@emory.edu.

If you are the real Emory chem prof, then I worry about the state of chemistry.

Or has all the green shit Parky-pooh of Emory was preaching finally poisoned his
own brain with Carbon Tetroxide and or Carbon Duodec(a)oxide?

Either way, you green Parkys appear to be incandescent icons of enviro shit.

You are not welcome in the ones I teach in Georgia, you'll have to
find another source of knowledge on your own.

It's not my fault you can't recognize basic Choelman molecules. Learn
some science.

Where there is car exhaust, there are lots of HC molecules floating
around. Use an autothermobarocatalytic fuel so the HC can be sheared,
precipitate out the elemental C, use the elemental H in a
high-temperature fuel cell with a semiosmotic, diodic membrane to
electrolyze the COx. Elemental C goes to storage, Ox + H -->H2O.

Nitrogen Trioxide, Nitrogen Pentoxide, Carbon Tetroxide, Carbon Pent[a]oxide.

But it doesn't; it comes from sheared CO4 radicals.

Why go to all the trouble? Just invent a car that runs without fuel.
After all, there's *lots* of free energy running around in the air ...
molecular vibrations and translations. Undoubtedly the only reason it
hasn't been done yet is because of Big Oil's Conspiracies. Be
careful!
