TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an exhaust emission control device for removing particulates in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine such as diesel engine. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Particulates or particulate matter discharged from a diesel engine is mainly constituted by carbonic soot and a soluble organic fraction (SOF) of high-boiling hydrocarbon and contains a trace of sulfate (misty sulfuric acid fraction). In order to suppress such kind of particulates from being discharged into atmosphere, it has been envisaged as shown in FIG. 1 that a particulate filter 4 is incorporated in an exhaust pipe 3 through which exhaust gas 2 from a diesel engine 1 flows.
[0003] As detailedly shown in FIG. 2, the particulate filter 4 comprises a filter body 7 in the form of a porous honeycomb made of ceramics such as cordierite. The filter body 7 has passages 5 or grid-like compartments with inlets alternately plugged by plugs 8, the passages 5 with the unplugged inl...
