This particulate matter reducing apparatus 10 is provided to burn and reduce particulate matter ("PM") in an exhaust gas 1 of a diesel engine while collecting the PM on each filter 11 at a low collection rate of 50% or less in total. The filter 11 is composed of a wire mesh structure and is formed in a short column shape provided with a central through hole 12. The filter 11 is coaxially housed in an outer cylindrical casing 4 with a gap 14 provided within the casing and is retained by a pair of front and rear shielding plates 17 and 18. The pair of shielding plates 17 and 18 divides the inside of the outer cylindrical casing 4 in front and rear and is provided with one or more air holes 15 and 16 at the outer circumferential section or at the central section.

What is claimed is: 1. A particulate matter reducing apparatus for burning and reducing particulate matter contained in exhaust gas of a diesel engines, while collecting the matter on the apparatus, which comprises: at least one filter for collecting the particulate matter thereon, the filter being comprised of a plurality of wire mesh filter elements wherein the wire mesh is superposed on itself in a plurality of layers, each being formed in a column shape and provided with a central through hole, the filter elements having their central holes being axially aligned and the plurality of filter elements being coaxially housed in an outer cylindrical casing for connection to an exhaust pipe for the exhaust gas, and the filter being releasably retained between a pair of shielding plates having one or more air holes while having a gap provided between the outer circumferential surface of the filter and the outer cylindrical casing, the pair of shielding plates dividing the inside of the outer cylindrical casing in front and rear, respectively, an outer circumferential section of one shielding plate being provided with one or more of said air holes communicating with the gap, while a central section of the other shielding plate is provided with a center air hole communicating with the central through holes of the filter elements, and the filter causing the exhaust gas to flow between the outer and inner circumferential surfaces thereof, wherein one of said shielding plates is upstream and the other of said shielding plates is downstream relative to flow of the exhaust gas, an outer circumferential surface of the filters serves as an intake surface of the exhaust gas and an inner circumferential surface thereof serves as an exhaust surface of the exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas flows through the filters from the outside to the inside thereof, whereby the particulate matter is evenly collected on each of the filters, at a predetermined collection rate of particulate matter of from 20 to 50% in the absence of a catalyst in total by a combination of selection of wire diameter, wire mesh filling density and the number of filter layers of wire mesh in the filter elements, wherein each of the filters is provided with a filter surface area necessary for the predetermined collection rate relative to the quantity of exhaust gas; wherein the structure of wire mesh of each of the filter elements is comprised of mesh aggregates of a metal wire, the filter elements are regeneratable by burning and eliminating the particulate matter collected thereon, the wire of each of the filter elements has a diameter of from 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm, and the filling density of each of the filters being from 10% to 40%. 2. The particulate matter reducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of the filters has a central through hole of a diameter approximately the same as or greater than that of the exhaust pipe and smaller than half the outer diameter of the filter. 3. The particulate matter reducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein one of said shielding plates is upstream and the other of said shielding plates is downstream relative to flow of the exhaust gas, an outer circumferential surface of the filters serves as an intake surface of the exhaust gas and an inner circumferential surface thereof serves as an exhaust surface of the exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas flows through the filters from the outside to the inside thereof, whereby the particulate matter is evenly collected on each of the filters. 4. The particulate matter reducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said one shielding plate is downstream and said other shielding plate is upstream relative to flow of the exhaust gas, an inner circumferential surface of the filter serves as an intake surface of the exhaust gas and an outer circumferential surface thereof serves as an exhaust surface of the exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas flows through each of the filters from the inside to the outside, whereby the particulate matter is evenly collected on each of the filters. 5. The particulate matter reducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the main component of the wire of each of the filters is Fe and promotes burning of the collected particulate matter by the Fe functioning as an oxidation catalyst. 6. The particulate matter reducing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the surface of the wire is coated with an oxidation catalyst comprised of precious metal, and the oxidation catalyst increases the filter surface area to promote the collection of the particulate matter on each of the filters and promotes burning of the particulate matter collected on each of the filters. 7. The particulate matter reducing apparatus according to claim 5 in combination with a diesel engine and a fuel tank for the diesel engine, and fuel in the fuel tank, the fuel containing a catalyst adapted to be caffied by the exhaust gas, the catalyst promoting burning of the particulate matter collected on each of the filters.
