I think this topic came out some time ago but I did not see any links with some explanation about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerium
One of the products that uses this technology to reduce particulate matter and potentially clean DPF and catalytic converters:
http://www.cdti.com/content/americas/technology/platinumplustechnology.htm
Specifically formulated for use with DPFs, Platinum Plus DFX-DPF delivers benefits at multiple levels.
Another company using this technology is Xenum in Belgium:
Cerium Oxide in NEXGENTM
http://www.xenum.com/technology/technology-nexgen-diesel-fuel-additive/
As far as I know this technology is not widely used in North America but in Europe. Maybe because of EPA regulations?
I am posting this in the spirit of discussion and I am not endorsing any of these products.

- Passive and controlled regeneration are made possible at temperatures in the low 300°C range, easily achieved by the bus operators in their regular route, by either driving the bus at highway speeds or by loading the engine on uphill grades for 5-10 minutes. This activity will either dramatically reduce or eliminate cleaning requirements.
- Controlled regeneration without fear of run-away heat production, which might otherwise damage filter integrity or create tailpipe flames
- Complete regeneration of even dry soot from the EGR engines dropped backpressure from 5 psi to 0.5 psi.
- Platinum Plus increases the rate and completeness of combustion, thereby lowering the amount of engine-out soot by as much as 25%. This helped maintain a cleaner DPF longer, based on decreased loading; even five months after passive regeneration, backpressure did not exceed 3 psi.
- More complete combustion and less backpressure also improved fuel economy (although specific amounts were not measured in the course of this program).
