Provided is a honeycomb structure which makes it possible to inhibit the metal corrosion of a molding machine or a mouthpiece in a case where a honeycomb body is molded using titanium oxide synthesized by the sulfate process. A honeycomb structure provided with a honeycomb unit which comprises titanium oxide and an inorganic binder as essential components and in which multiple cells extending lengthwise from one end face to the other end face are partitioned by cell walls, characterized by being produced by molding a composite material, which is obtained by mixing and kneading titanium oxide synthesized by the sulfate process, an inorganic binder and an alkaline material together and which has a pH of 5 or more, into a honeycomb body and firing the honeycomb body. |
