ABSTRACTRegeneration of a La 0.8 Ce 0.2 MnO 3 perovskite coated ceramic monolith as a model soot filter, using carbon as model soot, has been performed in a travelling wave once-through microwave system. Thus, imitation of soot filter regeneration for diesel engines is attempted by carbon burn-off on a monolithic filter coated either with both perovskite and synthetic carbon or with carbon only. The results show that, in the presence of the perovskite, complete burn-off of carbon may occur. The energy consumption for regeneration is low, as compared to non-catalytic soot filter regeneration under the same reaction conditions. This work shows the viability of dielectrically sensitive oxidative catalytic coating materials for the proposed application.
