Abstract
Two ceramic supports (sintered and foam) were employed for the preparation of catalytic filters for soot removal at diesel exhausts. Laboratory tests showed that while the foam filter is appropriate for small size and low eng ine backpressure, the sintered filter is more suitable for achieving high f iltration efficiency. Tests carried out at the exhaust of a diesel engine s howed that the catalytic filter can be continuously regenerated at operatin g conditions typical of diesel exhaust.
