Exhaust soot is Carbon based molecules that have not reacted to completion in the combustion chamber.
We input Hydrocarbon, Air, and Exhaust gas (EGR), and hope that we burn all the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water. If there is not enough oxygen in the combustionchamber for the amount of fuel (through over allowance of EGR or otherwise) then we get soot paticles forming.
