A Novel Dual Effect Soot Filtering System

A newly developed novel technique for filtering soot from an exhaust gas system is presented. the proposed filter surface is capable of synthesizing carbon nanotubes. two filters were designed and tested; the first is made of carbon steel plate and the second was made of nanomagnetic particles mounted on a polymeric surface. the filters were placed along the pathway of an exhaust streamline with an inclination of 5o to ensure a laminar flow condition. the results showed that the proposed systems produced carbon nanotubes by converting the exhaust waste.
