Method for treating exhaust gas containing soot particles

摘要

A method for converting soot particles of an exhaust gas includes providing at least nitrogen dioxide or oxygen in the exhaust gas, ionizing soot particles with an electric field, depositing electrically charged soot particles on inner channel walls of at least one surface precipitator, and bringing at least nitrogen dioxide or oxygen into contact with the deposited soot particles on the inner channel walls of the at least one surface precipitator. A device for carrying out the method includes at least one surface precipitator having a plurality of channels through which the exhaust gas can flow and extending between an inlet region and an outlet region, and at least one deposit inhibitor for electrically charged soot particles provided in at least part of the inlet region, especially allowing the soot particles to be evenly deposited and the surface precipitator to be continuously regenerated.

1. A method for converting soot particles of an exhaust gas, the method comprising the following steps:
providing a device for treating the soot particles having:
at least one source of nitrogen dioxide or oxygen;at least one ionization element for ionizing soot particles;at least one surface precipitator having an inlet region, an outlet region and a plurality of channels through which the exhaust gas can flow, the channels extending between the inlet region and the outlet region; andat least one deposition inhibitor disposed at least partially at the inlet region for inhibiting deposition of electrically charged soot particles; a) providing at least nitrogen dioxide or oxygen in the exhaust gas by using the at least one source of nitrogen dioxide or oxygen; b) ionizing soot particles with an electrical field created by the at least one ionization element; c) depositing electrically charged soot particles on inner channel walls of the channels of the at least one surface precipitator and preventing a predominant deposition of electrically charged soot particles in the inlet region by using the at least one deposition inhibitor; and d) placing at least nitrogen dioxide or oxygen in contact with the soot particles deposited on the inner channel walls of the at least one surface precipitator.
