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/cmor more, and an air-permeability resistance of the partition wall is 4.5×10Pa·s/mor less.

Plugged honeycomb structure

A honeycomb filter including: a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure having an inflow end face and an outflow end face and including a porous partition wall disposed so as to surround a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells extending from the inflow end face to the outflow end face; inflow side plugging portions disposed at open ends of predetermined cells on the inflow end face side; and outflow side plugging portions disposed at open ends of residual cells on the outflow end face side, wherein the outflow side plugging portions comprise first outflow side plugging portions and second outflow side plugging portions, the plugging length Lof the first outflow side plugging portions is 10 to 50% of the overall length Lof the honeycomb structure, and the plugging length Lof the second outflow side plugging portions is less than 10% of the overall length Lof the honeycomb structure.

Honeycomb filter

A bottom face processing method of a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure including steps of:

Bottom face processing method of pillar-shaped honeycomb structure, manufacturing method of fired honeycomb structure, and manufacturing method of joined body

A method for producing a honeycomb structure, the method including: a step of drying a pillar-shaped honeycomb formed body including partition walls that define a plurality of cells each forming a flow path penetrating from a first end face to a second end face; and after the step of drying, a step of cooling the honeycomb formed body by applying a suction force to the first end face of the honeycomb formed body to allow a coolant to flow in the honeycomb formed body from the second end face, pass through the cells, and flow out from the first end face.

Method for producing honeycomb structure

A masking method for honeycomb formed body, including bonding a film on at least one bottom face of a honeycomb formed body in a quadrangular prism shape such that an adhesive surface is in contact with the bottom face. The step of bonding the film includes bonding of the film so as to have a bottom face covering portion that covers a whole surface of the bottom face and a pair of outer edge portions along one pair of opposite sides of a quadrangle defining an outer peripheral shape of the bottom face and a pair of protruding portions protruding from another pair of opposite sides of the quadrangle. At least a part of the adhesive surface of each of the pair of protruding portions is bonded so as to be in contact with a pair of opposing lateral faces of the honeycomb formed body.

Masking method for honeycomb formed body, plugged portion forming method for honeycomb formed body, and manufacturing method of honeycomb fired product

A method for manufacturing a plugged honeycomb structure including a step of mixing ceramic particles with a gas on one end face side of the plugged honeycomb structure, and a step of sucking the gas containing the ceramic particles from the other end face side of the plugged honeycomb structure to send the ceramic particles mixed in the gas into cells of the plugged honeycomb structure to allow the ceramic particles to adhere to surfaces in the cells of the plugged honeycomb structure.
