Abstract

An apparatus for cleaning an exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxide and particulate matter and discharged from a diesel engine, wherein the apparatus comprises a porous ceramic honeycomb filter and an SCR catalytic converter in this order from upstream, wherein the honeycomb filter has pluralities of flow paths partitioned by porous cell walls and a catalyst supported by the porous cell walls, with desired flow paths sealed by plugs, and wherein at least one plug on the side of an exhaust gas inlet is separate inward from an exhaust gas inlet end. A ratio D/V of the diameter D (mm) of the honeycomb filter to the displacement V (liter) of the diesel engine is preferably 15 mm/liter or more. The honeycomb filter and an SCR catalytic converter are preferably contained in one case.
