An apparatus and method for the removal of carbon particles (soot), odor, gas and particulate from the exhaust of a diesel engine. The method includes a carbon (soot) collector which collects the carbon (soot) and noxious odor which is connected to the catalytic converter of the engine, then enters a heat exchanger for cooling and condensing a major portion of the exhaust into a liquid condensate. The condensate enters a first reactor which neutralizes any acids present in the condensate and passes through an automatic drain into a holding tank. The non-condensed gases flow into a second reactor connected to a holding tank. Gases are reacted in the second chemical reactor with a substance which absorbs the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. The two reactors remove a large quantity of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. The treated gases then flow into a the soot bath for removal of minute carbon (soot) particles and thence into a vapor remover. The treated gases then are let out into the atmosphere through an exhaust outlet.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. apparatus for removing diesel particulate and gases from a diesel internal combustion exhaust and apparatus comprising of:a soot separator attached to a catalytic converter of a diesel exhaust system for receiving and removing particulate from the exhaust, whereas the soot separator removes particulate (soot) by a specially injected chemical (RP Super Filter Coat 421) into a chamber to which the particulate will enter and be contained in a reservoir;a heat exchanger attached to the soot separator (attached to a diesel exhaust system) for receiving and cooling exhaust passing there through and condensing at least a portion of the exhaust into a liquid condensate;a first chemical reactor fluidly communicating with said heat exchanger for receiving and removing the condensate and draining into a holding tank associated therewith, the first chemical reactor exposing the condensate to a neutralizing agent contained therein to neutralize acids in the condensate;at least one second chemical reactor fluidly communicating with said first chemical reactor for receiving non-condensed gases from said first chemical reactor and reacting carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxide contained in a non-condensed gases with a substance contained in said second chemical reactor which absorbs carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen acids and removes at least some of said particulate matter from the non-condensed gases and discharges a balance of said exhaust through an outlet, wherein said second chemical reactor drains into a first chamber fluidly communicating therewith;a first drain conduit is connected to said heat exchanger and said first chamber to provide fluid communication there between for a portion of said liquid condensate formed in said heat exchanger; andsaid first chamber fluidly communicate with said holding tank through a second drain conduit extending there between.
