Abstract
A method for producing a honeycomb-shaped ceramic structure by extrusion-molding a moldable material including a cordierite-forming material and a pore-forming material, wherein the cordierite-forming material contains 15-25% by mass of silica having an average particle size of 20-30 μm, with 5% or less by mass of particles having particle sizes of 10 μm or less and 5% or less by mass of particles having particle sizes of 100 μm or more, a particle size distribution deviation SD of 0.5 or less, and sphericity of 0.5 or more, and wherein the pore-forming material is present in an amount of 5-40% by mass based on the cordierite-forming material and has an average particle size of 15-50 μm, with 10% or less by mass of particles having particle sizes of 5 μm or less and 5% or less by mass of particles having particle sizes of 80 μm or more.
