Abstract With the rapid development of internal combustion engine technology and the widespread popularity of diesel locomotives, the exhaust pollution of internal combustion engines has become a factor that cannot be ignored in air pollution. Particulate matter in diesel engine exhaust is an important culprit in diesel engine exhaust pollution, the harm of which has been widely recognized. This paper introduces the hazards of particulate matter in diesel exhaust, and summarizes DPF for particulate emissions and the regeneration technology of DPF.
