This paper presents an experimental study on oxidation of diesel paticulate matter (PM) and aims at investigating the characteristics of PM oxidation. The experiments were performed over a Cu 0.95 K 0.05 Fe 2 O 4 catalyst which is attributed to a spinel type metal oxide. The effects of O 2 on PM oxidation as well as on NO x reduction were studied and the roles of O 2 in PM oxidation and in NO x reduction, respectively, are discussed. During the temperature‐programmed oxidation of PM, SOF oxidation and soot oxidation lead to two CO 2 peaks at different temperatures. It was found that the presence of O 2 benefits PM oxidation but suppresses the reduction of NO x into N 2 by consuming the soot. This study revealed that the appearance of PM oxidation is different from that of soot oxidation. The mechanisms on PM oxidation and NO x reduction are discussed.
