A catalytic converter for transforming polluting gases into non-polluting gases. The converter comprises an open-ended elongated shell of rust-resistant alloy; a transverse partition member comprising a metallic grill coated with silver, palladium or mixtures thereof, within said elongated shell, proximate to and spaced from the open inlet end of the elongated shell; and a metallic mesh, coated with silver, palladium or mixtures thereof in a first open-ended container having its inlet end affixed to the downstream transverse surface of the partition member, and forming a first gas passageway between the elongated shell and the outer surface of the container. A metallic mesh coated with chromium in a second container removably attached to the outlet end of the first container, forms a second gas passageway contiguous with said first gas passageway. The open outlet end of the second container is spaced from the open outlet end of the elongated shell. A specific stepped configuration is used for the containers and a particular rust-resistant alloy is used for the elongated shell.
