Abstract
A porous honeycomb structure including cell channels passing through an interior of the porous honeycomb structure and partitioned by porous partition walls, wherein the porous partition walls include skeleton portions containing an aggregate and a bonding material, and pore portions formed among the skeleton portions and through which a fluid can flow; and the porous partition walls have a porosity of 40 to 48% as measured by a mercury intrusion method, and a cumulative 50% pore diameter (D50) from a large pore side of 6 to 10 μm in a volume-based cumulative distribution of pore diameters measured by the mercury intrusion method, and a maximum pore diameter observed with a scanning electron microscope of 40 μm or less, and a ratio of a contact area between the aggregate and the bonding material to a surface area of the bonding material observed with the scanning electron microscope of 61 to 80%.
