Resumo: This dissertation describes the known formation mechanisms of pollutant emissions for spark ignition internal combustion engines, the most common pollutants emitted by spark ignition engines, current methods to reduce pollutants emissions and a comparison of industry procedures with one and three-dimensional modeling including detailed surface reaction chemistry model, all used to estimate catalytic converter efficiency. Also, experimental tests were performed to provide exhaust gas composition boundary conditions, and to provide values for current catalytic converter efficiency. The detailed surface reaction chemistry model presented problems into implementation for one and three-dimensional analyzes, presenting zero conversion into one-dimensional analysis and continuous reduction in conversion efficiency for three-dimensional analysis. The industry procedure has been used for a long time, and presented the more realist values and behavior, not justifying the replacement for an analysis that includes chemistry reaction models, either one or three-dimensional.
