A filter arrangement may include a filter element and a gasket element. The gasket element may include a substantially circular flow-through opening and a locking collar. The locking collar may be arranged along a circumference of the flow-through opening with respect to a circumferential direction. The locking collar may form a hollow cylindrical installation space. The filter element may include a filter element body and a substantially hollow-cylindrical counter locking collar. The counter locking collar may include an open axial side and a covered axial side which may be spaced apart from each other with respect to an axial axis. The covered axial side of the counter locking collar may be covered by said filter element body. The counter locking collar may be at least partially inserted into the hollow cylindrical installation space of the locking collar.

A decomposition tube for an exhaust treatment system includes a housing with a housing wall that defines an exhaust flow path for exhaust; a reductant delivery mechanism coupled to the housing and having a nozzle configured to deliver a spray of reductant into the exhaust flow path; and a mesh device with a mounting element mounted on the housing wall and a mesh basket secured to the mounting element proximate to the nozzle to enclose and intercept the spray such that effectively all of the reductant passes through the mesh basket and into the exhaust flow path prior to impinging on the housing wall.

In general, this disclosure describes method of capturing and storing CO.sub.2 on a vehicle. The method includes contacting an vehicle exhaust gas with one or more of a first metal organic framework (MOF) composition sufficient to separate CO.sub.2 from the exhaust gas, contacting the separated CO.sub.2 with one or more of a second MOF composition sufficient to store the CO.sub.2 and wherein the one or more first MOF composition comprises one or more SIFSIX-n-M MOF and wherein M is a metal and n is 2 or 3. Embodiments also describe an apparatus or system for capturing and storing CO.sub.2 onboard a vehicle.

An exhaust muffler has an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, as well as a catalytic converter which, in the flow direction, is disposed between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet. The catalytic converter has at least one throughflow body which includes at least one wire body. At least one first component region of the throughflow body is coated with a catalytically functioning coating. The throughflow body moreover has a second component region which in terms of volume has a smaller quantity of catalytically functioning coating than the first component region.

A catalytic converter for an internal combustion engine has a housing (2) and a catalyst element (12) formed in the housing (2). The housing (2) is formed such that exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine can flow through the housing (2). The catalyst element (12) is formed such that fluid can flow around and through it. Additionally, the catalyst element (12) has a plurality of ribs (15) on its surface (14) that faces the exhaust gas.

An exhaust muffler has an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, as well as a catalytic converter which, in the flow direction, is disposed between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet. The catalytic converter has at least one throughflow body which includes at least one wire body. At least one first component region of the throughflow body is coated with a catalytically functioning coating. The throughflow body moreover has a second component region which in terms of volume has a smaller quantity of catalytically functioning coating than the first component region.

A muffler is detachably attached to an engine. A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas is provided upstream of the muffler, and a secondary air valve for supplying air to an exhaust passage is provided upstream of the catalyst. The catalyst and the secondary air valve are integrally unitized. A catalyst unit including the catalyst and the secondary air valve is provided between the engine and the muffler.

A method operates a particulate filter through which exhaust gas can flow in a vehicle, in which ash is introduced into a filter body of the particulate filter, wherein at least one ash former or at least one ash component is arranged on at least one carrier material upstream of the filter body in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas.

A pillar shaped honeycomb structure, including: an outer peripheral wall; and porous partition walls disposed inside the outer peripheral wall, the partition walls defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells penetrating from one end face to other end face to form a flow path, wherein one or both of the one end face and the other end face includes a groove portion; and wherein at least one annular conductive loop containing a conductive material is embedded in the groove portion.

A filter arrangement may include a filter element and a gasket element. The gasket element may include a substantially circular flow-through opening and a locking collar. The locking collar may be arranged along a circumference of the flow-through opening with respect to a circumferential direction. The locking collar may form a hollow cylindrical installation space. The filter element may include a filter element body and a substantially hollow-cylindrical counter locking collar. The counter locking collar may include an open axial side and a covered axial side which may be spaced apart from each other with respect to an axial axis. The covered axial side of the counter locking collar may be covered by said filter element body. The counter locking collar may be at least partially inserted into the hollow cylindrical installation space of the locking collar.
