Abstract

A plugged honeycomb structure includes a honeycomb structure body having a porous partition wall disposed to surround a plurality of cells; and a plugging portion disposed at one end of the cells, wherein, in a section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, the cells each have a shape that is polygon, and one of the inflow cells and another are adjacent to each other with the partition wall therebetween, and in the section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, a total area of the inflow cell is larger than a total area of the outflow cell, a porosity of the partition wall is 38% or more, a thickness of the partition wall is 125 μm or more and 280 μm or less, a cell density of the honeycomb structure body is 31.0 cells/cm2 or more, and an air-permeability resistance of the partition wall is 4.5×107Pa·s/m2 or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A plugged honeycomb structure comprising: a honeycomb structure body having a porous partition wall disposed so as to surround a plurality of cells serving as a fluid through channel extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face; and
a plugging portion disposed so as to plug end at any one of the inflow end face side or the outflow end face side of the cells, wherein
the cells having the plugging portion at ends on the outflow end face side and that are open on the inflow end face side are inflow cells, and the cells having the plugging portion at ends on the inflow end face side and that are open on the outflow end face side are outflow cells,
in a section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell of the honeycomb structure body, the cells each have a shape that is polygon, and have a cell structure in which one of the inflow cells and another of the inflow cells are adjacent to each other with the partition wall therebetween,
in the section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, a shape of one of the inflow cells and a shape of one of the outflow cells are congruent, and,
in the section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, a total area of the inflow cell is larger than a total area of the outflow cell,
a ratio of the total number Na of the inflow cells with respect to the total number Nb of the outflow cells is 2 or more,
a total open porosity of the inflow cells is larger than a total open porosity of the outflow cells,
the total open porosity of the inflow cells is 32 to 53%, and the total open porosity of the outflow cells is 18 to 35%,
a porosity of the partition wall is 38% or more, a thickness of the partition wall is 125 μm or more and 280 μm or less, a cell density of the honeycomb structure body is 31.0 cells/cm 2 or more, and
an air-permeability resistance of the partition wall is 4.5×10 7 Pa·s/m 2 or less.

2. The plugged honeycomb structure of claim 1 , wherein the air-permeability resistance of the partition wall is 4.0×10 7 Pa·s/m 2 or less.

3. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein, in the section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, the shape of the inflow cell is one type.

4. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein, in the section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, the shape of the inflow cell and the shape of the outflow cell are both hexagonal.

5. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein, in the section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cell, at least one of the cells has a regular hexagonal shape.

6. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the partition wall is loaded with at least one catalyst selected from the group consisting of an oxidation catalyst, a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, and a three-way catalyst.

7. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 6 , wherein the partition wall is loaded with the oxidation catalyst and a loading amount of the oxidation catalyst is 0.1 to 30 g/L.

8. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 6 , wherein the partition wall is loaded with the selective catalytic reduction catalyst and a loading amount of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst is 50 to 130 g/L.

9. The plugged honeycomb structure according to claim 6 , wherein the selective catalytic reduction catalyst is a zeolite-type selective catalytic reduction catalyst or a vanadium-type selective catalytic reduction catalyst.
