Abstract
Abstract A self-cleaning diesel exhaust particulate filter is disclosed wherein burn-off of collected particulate matter is accomplished at normal exhaust gas temperatures, the filter being provided with a catalyst mixture of a platinum group metal and silver vanadate, the presence of which lowers the temperature at which ignition of the particulate is initiated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A diesel exhaust particulate filter comprising a high temperature resistant filter element having porous walls adapted to filter particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines and collect the particulates from the gases flowed through the element on the surfaces of the porous walls, the surfaces of the walls having been first provided with a catalyst comprised of a mixture of a platinum group metal and silver vanadate, which catalyst mixture lowers the temperature at which the collected particulates are ignited and combustion thereof initiated, whereby the particulates are continuously removed by burning at the temperature of the exhaust gases with relatively high efficiency and low pressure drop.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The filter as defined in claim 1 wherein the filter is formed of a ceramic material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The filter as defined in claim 2 wherein the filter is formed of a ceramic monolithic material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The filter as defined in claim 1 wherein the platinum group metal is platinum.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The filter as defined in claim 4 wherein the platinum metal is present on the surface of the filter at a concentration of about 0.5 to about 25 grams per square foot of filter surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The filter as defined in claim 4 wherein the silver vanadate is present on the surface of the filter at a concentration of about 100 to about 1000 grams per square foot of filter surface.
