Abstract
A honeycomb structure includes at least one honeycomb member including inorganic fibers and having walls extending along a longitudinal direction to define cells. A catalyst is provided on the wall in an amount of at least about 100 g and at most about 400 g per liter of volume of the honeycomb structure. The honeycomb member has a pore distribution measured using mercury porosimetry in which a pore distribution curve has a first peak in a range from about 0.005 μm to about 0.03 μm of a pore diameter, a second peak in a range from about 1 μm to about 15 μm of the pore diameter, and a third peak in a range from about 15 μm to about 50 μm of the pore diameter, where the curve is drawn by plotting the pore diameter (μm) on an X-axis and a log differential pore volume (mL/g) on a Y-axis.
