Abstract

A diesel internal combustion engine in the exhaust gas line system of which is arranged a device for the ionization of soot particles contained in the exhaust gas and a device for the separation thereof from the exhaust gas stream. In order to be able to realize a low structural expenditure, the device for the ionization of the soot particles is constructed as a light source emitting ultraviolet light.
