The three-way catalyst is used in rich-burn or stoichiometric engines for simultaneous conversion of oxides of nitrogen (NO_x), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), formaldehyde (CH₂O) and EPA classified Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). The three-way catalyst is effective in a wide variety of engine applications and fuels, including natural gas, propane and gasoline. A closed loop air-fuel ratio controller is required for the three-way catalyst to work effectively.

CO + ½ O2 → CO2

HC + ½ O2 → CO2 + H2O

HC + ½ O2 → CO + H2O

H2 + ½ O2 → H2O

CO + NO → ½ N2 + CO2

HC + NO → N2+ H2O + CO2

HC + NO → N2 + H2O + CO

H2 + NO → ½ N2 + H2O

H2 + 2 NO → N2O + H2O

5/2 H2 + NO → NH3 + H2O

2 NO + 2 NH3 + ½ O2 → 2N2 + 3 H2O

CO + H2O → CO2 + H₂

HC + H2O → CO2 + H2

HC + H2O → CO + H2
