A method and system for treating emissions includes charging particles in an exhaust stream, producing one or more radicals, and oxidizing at least a portion of the charged particles with at least a portion of the produced radicals. At least a portion of the charged particles in the exhaust stream are then attracted on at least one attraction surface which is one of oppositely charged from the charged particles and grounded. The attracted particles are oxidized with another portion of the one or more produced radicals to self regenerate the at least one attraction surface. Downstream from where the attracted particles are oxidized, at least a portion of one or more first compounds in the exhaust stream are converted to one or more second compounds downstream from the attracting. Additionally, at least a portion of any remaining charged particles are oxidized into one or more gases.

1. A system for treating emissions, the system comprising: a housing with a passage having an inlet and an outlet;a first chamber having a lone first chamber charging system comprising a first corona discharge device which generates a non-thermal plasma that charges carbon particles in an exhaust stream in the passage with ions from the first corona discharge, excites gas atoms and produces one or more radicals, and oxidizes a portion of the charged carbon particles with a portion of the produced one or more radicals to remove a portion of the carbon particles in the exhaust stream;a flow-through maintenance-free non-charging attraction system comprising a substrate core having a plurality of individual passages that extend through from one end to the other end of the core and which fills a space in the housing passage that attracts a portion of the charged carbon particles in the exhaust stream on a conductive catalyzed attraction surface in direct contact with the plasma, which surface is at least one of oppositely charged from the charged carbon particles and grounded in the housing passage, wherein the attraction system is positioned downstream from the first chamber charging system, such that the attracted particles are resident on the attraction surface for a sufficient time to be oxidized by the non-thermal plasma with another portion of the one or more produced radicals to self regenerate the attraction surface; anda second chamber having a lone second chamber charging system comprising a second corona discharge device which generates a non-thermal plasma that oxidizes a portion of the charged carbon particles with ions from the second corona discharge and converts residual compounds from the first chamber into other compounds capable of treatment by a catalyst system and a non-charging flow-through catalyst system comprising a substrate having a plurality of individual passages that extend therethrough and which fills a space of the housing passage between the second chamber and the outlet that catalyzes the other compounds from the second chamber to reduce or eliminate emissions from the exhaust stream. 2. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the produced one or more radicals comprises at least one of O, OH, and NO2. 3. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the portion of removed carbon particles are removed from the exhaust stream by the first corona discharge device by being oxidized into gases comprising at least one of N2, CO2, and H2O. 4. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the attracted particles on the attraction surface are oxidized into gases comprising at least one of N2, CO, CO2, and H2O to self regenerate the attraction surface. 5. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein charged carbon particles are removed from the exhaust stream by the second corona discharge device by being oxidized into gases comprising at least one of N2, CO2, and H2O. 6. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the second charging system converts the residual compounds from the first chamber into other compounds by converting at least a portion of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust stream to nitrogen dioxide. 7. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the other compounds from the second chamber reduced or eliminated from the exhaust stream are emissions comprising at least one of CO, HC, and NOx. 8. A method for making a system for treating emissions, the method comprising: providing a housing with a passage having at least one inlet and at least one outlet;providing a first chamber having a lone first chamber charging system comprising a first corona discharge device which generates a non-thermal plasma that charges carbon particles in an exhaust stream in the passage with ions from the first corona discharge, excites gas atoms and produces one or more radicals in the exhaust stream, and oxidizes a portion of the charged carbon particles with a portion of the produced one or more radicals to remove a portion of the carbon particles in the exhaust stream;providing a flow-through maintenance-free non-charging attraction system comprising a substrate core having a plurality of individual passages that extend through from one end to the other end of the core and which fills a space in the housing passage downstream from the charging system, the attraction system attracts at least a portion of the charged carbon particles in the exhaust stream on a conductive catalyzed attraction surface in direct contact with the plasma, which surface is at least one of oppositely charged from the charged carbon particles and grounded, such that the attracted particles are resident on the attraction surface for a sufficient time to be oxidized by the non-thermal plasma with another portion of the one or more produced radicals to self regenerate the attraction surface; anda second chamber having a lone second chamber charging system comprising a second corona discharge device which generates a non-thermal plasma that oxidizes a portion of the charged carbon particles with ions from the second corona discharge and converts residual compounds from the first chamber into other compounds capable of treatment by a catalyst system and a non-charging flow-through catalyst system comprising a substrate having a plurality of individual passages that extend therethrough and which fills a space of the housing passage between the second chamber and the outlet that catalyzes the other compounds from the second chamber to reduce or eliminate emissions from the exhaust stream. 9. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein the produced one or more radicals comprises at least one of O, OH, and NO2. 10. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein the portion of removed carbon particles are removed from the exhaust stream by the first corona discharge device by being oxidized into gases comprising at least one of N2, CO2, and H2O. 11. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein the attracted particles on the attraction surface are oxidized into gases comprising at least one of N2, CO, CO2, and H2O to self regenerate the attraction surface. 12. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein charged carbon particles are removed from the exhaust stream by the second corona discharge device by being oxidized into gases comprising at least one of N2, CO2, and H2O. 13. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein the second charging system converts the residual compounds from the first chamber into other compounds by converting at least a portion of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust stream to nitrogen dioxide. 14. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein the other compounds from the second chamber reduced or eliminated from the exhaust stream are emissions comprising at least one of CO, HC, and NOx.
