Abstract
A soot burn-off filter including a monolithic filter block made of porous ceramic with a multiplicity of channels which extend in the direction of flow of the exhaust gases of a combustion engine. The channels are sealed alternately at the ends by plugs and are separated from one another by porous partition walls. The partition walls are provided with a catalytic coating and have an increased flow resistance in a region at the downstream end of the filter, the partition walls in this region being of gastight design and the catalytic coating of the partition walls ending in a region upstream of the gastight region of the partition walls.
