Abstract

The toxic nature of exhaust gases released by these engines has led
to environmental concerns, affecting its sustainability. The exhaust emission
from diesel engine includes carbon monoxide, nitrates, hydrocarbons and
particulate matter. Soot particles contained in the particulate matter is also
found to be carcinogenic in nature and also leads to various lung diseases.
Diesel oxidation catalysis system involves oxidation of hydrocarbons, nitrates
and soluble organic fraction. Diesel particulate filtration blocks the soot
particles with the help of alternately plugged diesel particulate filter with
porous walls. The regeneration of accumulated soot is one of the major
challenges faced by automotive industries for effective implementation of
diesel particulate filtration system. A detailed review on the challenges faced
in the implementation of emission control techniques has been carried out in
this study and  it has been explored from
the results of literature study that microwave based regeneration technique
would be an effective technique. This paper provides a platform for
understanding the working principle of post treatment emission control
techniques and also on the role of regeneration in effective operation of
Diesel Particulate Filter.
