Abstract
A ceramic honeycomb composite structure adapted to be used as a catalyst support comprises a ceramic honeycomb body and ceramic layers integrally provided thereon having surfaces including therein microscopic holes, a sum of volumes of the holes 5 microns or more being at least 0.1 cm.sup.3 /g to ensure a sufficient catalyst-supporting property and achieve a high mechanical strength of the structure. On the layers of the structure are provided active material layers onto which a catalytic component is applied to enable it to be used as a catalyst. A ceramic material is extruded through a die to form the ceramic honeycomb body to which is applied ceramic grains and then the body with the grains is dried and sintered to complete the composite structure.
