Diesel particulate filters made of silicon carbide can help reduce air pollution in mining environments. Silicon carbide filters are well-suited for mining vehicles because they are highly durable at high temperatures, chemically stable, and can be manufactured in large sizes up to 78 liters. Notox Ceramic Filters produces silicon carbide particulate filters specifically for mining vehicles that can reduce soot particles from diesel exhaust by over 99% while withstanding harsh conditions.
