A honeycomb structure body which has a number of passages partitioned with partition walls and penetrating along the axial direction. A porous honeycomb structure body which contains refractory grains as filler, one or more elements selected from the group consisting of the rare earth elements, alkaline earth elements, Al, and Si, and the crystal containing one or more kinds of these elements. The present honeycomb structure body contains refractory grains such as silicon carbide grains and the like, but it can be produced at a relatively low firing temperature at a low price, it is sufficiently porous and high in specific surface area, and it can be used as a filter for purifying automobile exhaust gas, a catalyst carrier, and the like under the high SV conditions. |
