The black smoke is soot, partially burned fuel, something that is unavoidable in the diesel combustion process because the fuel is not burned as a homogenous fuel/air mix.

Attempting to "clean it up" using a dpf is like putting a plaster on a sore, just hiding the problem, filtering the particles out so they are not seen, storing them so the combustion process can be completed at a later time by "re-burning" them in the dpf regeneration process, which burns more fuel and releases the heat energy unused into the atmosphere.
