An apparatus for separating and converting exhaust particulates from a stream of exhaust gas, especially a diesel engine, into gaseous substances, in which the exhaust gas is guided through a honeycomb filter (6) made from a porous ceramic material whose axially extending channels (1, 2) are open merely at one face side of the filter and are closed off at the respective other face side, and a voltage is applied to electrodes (3, 4) extending parallel to the channels (1, 2) of the honeycomb filter (6). The closure of the channels (1, 2) at the face side is made in such a way that the channels (1, 2) each extending at the same normal distance from one of the electrodes (3, 4) are either all open or all closed off at their face side (9). The channels (1, 2) are mutually offset in a brickwork-like way. A sequence of voltage pulses is applied to the electrodes (3, 4) which produces electron emissions in the channels (1, 2), with pauses remaining between the individual pulses in which an electron emission is omitted.

What is claimed is: 1. A filter arrangement for separating and converting exhaust particulates from a stream of exhaust gas into gaseous substances, in which the exhaust gas is guided through axially extending channels of a honeycomb filter made from a porous ceramic material and a voltage is applied to electrodes extending parallel to the channels, which electrodes produce in the channels an electric field extending perpendicularly to its longitudinal extension, characterized in that the channels of the honeycomb filter are open merely at one face side of the filter while being closed off at an opposite face side thereof, such that the channels extending at the same normal distance from one of the electrodes are either all open or all closed off at a respective one of the face sides, and the voltage source supplies an electric pulse field. 2. A filter arrangement as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that adjacent channels which have a different normal distance to one of the electrodes are offset in a brickwork-like manner and the cross-sectional extension of the channels perpendicular to the electrodes is considerably smaller than that parallel thereto. 3. A filter arrangement as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the honeycomb filter is provided upstream with a device for the electric charging of the exhaust gases. 4. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement for separating and converting exhaust particulates from a stream of exhaust gas into gaseous substances, in which the exhaust gas is guided through axially extending channels of a honeycomb filter made from a porous ceramic material and a voltage is applied to electrodes extending parallel to the channels characterized in that high-frequency voltage pulses are applied to the electrodes to produce in the channels an electric pulse field extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the channels. 5. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 4, characterized in voltage pulses are applied with different polarity to the electrodes, with the change of the polarity after a specific number of pulses. 6. A method for the operation of a arrangement as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the voltage pulses are used with a duration of 10-8 to 2.10-5 seconds, with said pulses producing at 120째 C. a field strength of at least 2 kV/cm and at 400째 C. a field strength of at least 0.5 kV/cm in the channels of the honeycomb filter. 7. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 6, characterized in voltage pulses are used with a duration of 10-7 to 5.10-6 seconds. 8. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that at 120째 C. the voltage pulses produce a field strength of at kV/cm in the channels of the honeycomb filter. 9. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that at 400째 C. the voltage pulses produce a field strength of at least 1 kV/cm in the channels of the honeycomb filter. 10. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the voltage pulses are used with a pulse duration chosen depending on the mobility of the electrons in the electric field, with the duration τ corresponding to the voltage pulses of the relationship: 2.10-5≧τ≧d/E. 10-3 cm2/V sec, with d being the width of the channels in the direction of the electric field in cm and E being the field amplitude in V/cm. 11. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 10, characterized in pulse duration τ of the voltage pulses corresponds to the relationship description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"5.10-6≧τ≧d/E.10-3 cm 2/V sec.description="In-line Formulae" end="tail" 12. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that any occurring spark discharges are detected and that, after each spark discharges the duration of the voltage pulses is gradually reduced or the duration of the pauses between two voltage pulses each is increased gradually. 13. A method for the operation of a filter arrangement as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that in the case of low exhaust particulate occurrence, the pause between the voltage pulses are extended, with the pressure drop over the honeycomb filter or specific operational data of the internal combustion engine producing the stream of exhaust gas, including injected quantity, speed and temperature, being detected and evaluated in order to detect the occurrence of exhaust particulates.
