Abstract

In consequence of their efficiency and torque, diesel engines have long been valued, especially for heavy-duty applications. But worries about their emissions—especially those of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM)—have prompted stricter laws all around the world. Modern emission control technologies for lowering NOx and PM emissions from automotive diesel engines are reviewed in this paper. There is discussion of several methods, such as diesel particulate filters (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and newer technologies like diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) and lean NOx traps (LNT). The challenges and potential paths for developing emission control technologies to meet ever-tougher emission regulations while preserving engine efficiency are also covered in this paper.

Keywords: NOx, diesel oxidation catalysts, EGR, selective catalytic reduction, particulate matter
