Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A honeycomb filter includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure body having a porous partition wall disposed to surround a plurality of cells and a plugging portion provided at an open end on a first end face side or a second end face side of each of the cells, wherein the partition wall is composed of a material containing cordierite as a main component thereof, a number per unit area of pores which exist at a surface of the partition wall and which have equivalent circle diameters exceeding 3.0 μm is 1400 per mm 2 or more, and, in a pore diameter distribution which indicates a cumulative pore volume of the partition wall, with a log pore diameter on a horizontal axis and a log differential pore volume (cm 3 /g) on a vertical axis, a half-value width of a first peak that includes a maximum value of the log differential pore volume is 0.30 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A honeycomb filter comprising: a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure body having a porous partition wall disposed to surround a plurality of cells which serve as fluid through channels extending from a first end face to a second end face; and a plugging portion provided at an open end on a side of the first end face or a side of the second end face of each of the plurality of cells, wherein the porous partition wall is composed of a material containing cordierite as a main component thereof, a number per unit area of pores which exist at a surface of the porous partition wall and which have equivalent circle diameters exceeding 3.0 μm is 1400 per mm 2 or more, in a pore diameter distribution which indicates a cumulative pore volume of the porous partition wall, with a log pore diameter on a horizontal axis and a log differential pore volume (cm 3 /g) on a vertical axis, a half-value width of a first peak that includes a maximum value of the log differential pore volume is 0.30 or less, a porosity of the porous partition wall is 55 to 63%, and an average pore diameter of the porous partition wall is 5 to 15 μm. 2. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the porous partition wall is 152 to 254 μm.
