In the last decades, diesel engines have attracted an increasing interest from vehicles producer and public, due to their higher thermal efficiency, less CO and unburned hydrocarbons emission, and longer lifetime comparing with gasoline engines. However, the high emission of soot particulates and NOx are still their key problems. The combination of filters and oxidation catalysts is one of the most effective after-treatment techniques to eliminate soot particles from the exhaust gases: the deposited catalyst lowers the soot ignition temperature from 550 °C (uncatalyzed reaction) to the typical values of diesel exhaust gases (180–400 °C).In our previous works we showed that the simultaneous use of a microwave (MW) applicator and a specifically catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), loaded up to 20 wt% of Copper Ferrite (CuFe2O4), allows to reduce the temperature, the energy and the time required for the regeneration. Starting by these very promising results, in this work we continued to study in order to further improve the performances of the catalyzed DPF, reducing the temperature and minimizing the MW energy required for the regeneration. Furthermore we verified the feasibility of the MW technology by assessing the energy balance of the regeneration phase, comparing it to the actually employed regeneration technologies.
