Hot discharged products of combustion from internal combustion particularly diesel engines containing oxidizable hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate carbon are commingled with an inert halogenated hydrocarbon liquid, having eight or more carbon atoms in its make up; absorbing and entrapping these contaminants therein. The inert absorber liquid, pregnant with the contaminants, is then pressurized, which along with the temperature rise of the absorber liquid created from exchange of heat from the products of combustion gases, along with dissolved excess oxygen available from the excess air used during combustion: Wet oxidizes in a very short time the hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate carbon to non objectionable carbon dioxide and water vapor; which are then disposed of to atmosphere. This invention is the process wherein these functions take place.
