You'd find the added distribution and engineering costs of a separate distribution system all the way to the exhaust pipe would be uneconomic compared with mixing it into the fuel at the refinery. But yes, it could be done like that, spraying it as a fine aerosol into the exhaust plume, perhaps with bonus sea water to add extra cooling to protect the molecules if they are fancy ones that can't get too hot. Mixing it at the refinery would be easy and cheap. But it's just an engineering problem with a preferable economic method. The chemistry is probably more important - exactly what form of iron compounds would be needed? Mqurice
