Honeycomb structure and honeycomb catalyst body

摘要

Partition walls are provided with small pores and large pores, a porosity of the partition walls is from 50 to 70%, a porosity of the large pores of the partition walls is 30% or larger, a ratio of a total volume of the small pores to a total volume of the large pores is 20% or larger, and in a graph showing a pore diameter distribution of the partition walls, the pore diameter at a maximum peak value of the large pores is from 20 to 200 μm, and the pore diameter at a maximum peak value of the small pores is from 0.1 to 8 μm. Furthermore, a value obtained by dividing a porosity value (%) of the large pores by a thickness value (μm) of the partition walls is 0.2 or larger in a honeycomb structure.

1. A honeycomb structure comprising:
porous partition walls that divide and form a plurality of cells extending from one end surface of the honeycomb structure to the other end surface thereof and define through channels of a fluid, wherein each of the cells are open at the respective end surfaces of the honeycomb structure; wherein the partition walls are provided with small pores showing a distribution and having pore diameters smaller than 14 μm in a graph showing a pore diameter distribution of the partition walls, and large pores showing another distribution and having pore diameters of 14 μm or larger in a graph showing the pore diameter distribution of the partition walls; wherein a porosity of the partition walls is from 50 to 70%, and a porosity of the large pores of the partition walls is 30% or larger; wherein a ratio of a total volume of the small pores formed in the partition walls to a total volume of the large pores formed in the partition walls is 20% or larger; wherein the pore diameter at a maximum peak value of pore volumes in the distribution of the large pores is from 20 to 200 μm in the graph showing the pore diameter distribution of the partition walls, and wherein the pore diameter at a maximum peak value of pore volumes in the distribution of the small pores is from 0.1 to 8 μm in the graph showing the pore diameter distribution of the partition walls; and wherein a value obtained by dividing a porosity value (%) of the large pores by a thickness value (μm) of the partition walls is 0.2 or larger.
