Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment 1995
The papers in SP-1073 deal in the main with the two most common forms of aftertreatment technology. The first is the trap oxidizer, which is a system for trapping and filtering the particulate matter from the exhaust gas and periodically removing it by thermal oxidation. The second is the diesel oxidation catalyst. Similar in many ways to the flow through converter in passenger cars, it ozidizes the soluble organic fraction of the of the diesel exhaust as well as gaseous hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
