Abstract

A honeycomb filter, including:a honeycomb structure,wherein the honeycomb structure includes a platinum group element-containing catalyst layer,the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed only on a side of an inner surface of the partition walls surrounding the outflow cells, andthe platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed in a range of at least up to 35% with respect to an overall length of the cells starting from the outflow end face and is not disposed in a range of at least up to 30% with respect to the overall length of the cells starting from the inflow end face, in an extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A honeycomb filter, comprising:
a honeycomb structure which has porous partition walls disposed so as to surround a plurality of cells as through channels of fluid extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face; and
plugging portions disposed to plug either one of end portions of each of the cells on the side of the inflow end face or the side of the outflow end face,
wherein the cells in which the plugging portions are arranged in an end portion on the side of the outflow end face and which are opened on the side of the inflow end face are defined as inflow cells,
the cells in which the plugging portions are arranged in end portion on the side of the inflow end face and which are opened on the side of the outflow end face are defined as outflow cells,
the honeycomb structure further includes a platinum group element-containing catalyst layer constituted by an exhaust gas purifying catalyst containing a platinum group element,
the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed only on a side of an inner surface of the partition walls surrounding the outflow cells, and
the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed in a range of at least up to 35% with respect to an overall length of the cells starting from the outflow end face and is not disposed in a range of at least up to 30% with respect to the overall length of the cells starting from the inflow end face, in an extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb structure.

2. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity of the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is from 50 to 90%.

3. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is from 10 to 40 μm.

4. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is a catalyst layer containing an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of aluminum, zirconium, and cerium.

5. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein in a cross section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb structure, a range within 60% of a length from a center of gravity of the cross section to a circumferential edge of the cross section is defined as a central portion of the cross section, and
the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed on the partition walls present at the central portion of the cross section.

6. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein in the cross section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb structure, the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed on the partition walls which surround the outflow cells in an entire area of the cross section.
