Aftertreatment of Diesel Vehicle Emissions Using Compact Plasmatron Fuel Converter-Catalyst Systems

This article, written by Leslie Bromberg, Daniel Ross Cohn, and A. Rabinovich, argues for the use of compact plasmatron fuel converters in diesel engines.  The authors posit that this technology will mitigate the environmental harms caused by diesel engines, stating "Use of compact plasmatron reformers to produce hydrogen-rich gas for the regeneration of NOx absorber/adsorbers and particulate traps could provide significant advantages."  The paper is eleven pages in length.
