A ceramic body that can support a required amount of catalyst component, without lowering the characteristics such as strength, manufactured without forming a coating layer and providing a high performance ceramic catalyst body that is excellent in practical utility and durability. This ceramic body is made by substituting at least one of the constituent elements of cordierite that constitutes the substrate ceramic, for example Al, with W that is the element having an empty orbit in d or f orbit, has high bonding strength and is less susceptible to deterioration since the catalyst component Pt is supported by means of chemical bonding.

The present invention provides a needle-shaped ceramic body and needle-shaped ceramic catalyst body in which a case material is a high specific surface area porous cordierite body that is stable at high temperatures, and also provides methods of producing this needle-shaped ceramic body and needle-shaped ceramic catalyst body. The present invention relates to a needle-shaped ceramic body and needle-shaped ceramic catalyst body in which a base material is a high temperature-stable, high specific surface area porous cordierite body comprising a porous structure having a prescribed porosity and formed of a needle-shaped cordierite crystal phase and further relates to methods of producing this needle-shaped ceramic body and needle-shaped ceramic catalyst body, and by using porous cordierite constituted of needle-shaped crystals as a catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure, the present invention is able to inhibit sintering-induced reduction in the specific surface area. Since a honeycomb can be directly produced as the cordierite sinter itself, an inexpensive product can be provided through the simplifying the prior-art step of coating the interior of the honeycomb.
摘要:
A cordierite honeycomb body is produced by forming a cordierite material including kaoline into a honeycomb shape and sintering it. The kaoline included in the cordierite material is at least partly composed of kaolinite having a Hinckley crystallinity index of 0.5 or more thereby having a less amorphous phase portion in a kaolinite particle. Therefore, when the cordierite material is sintered, the number of micropores generated in the cordierite is decreased due to the less amorphous phase portion in the kaolinite particles. As a result, density of the cordierite is increased without increasing a C.T.E. thereof. Thus, the cordierite honeycomb body has sufficient strength even when thickness of a cell wall thereof is decreased.

The object of the present invention is to provide a ceramic body that can support a required amount of a catalyst component, without lowering the characteristics such as strength, being manufactured without forming a coating layer and providing a high performance ceramic catalyst that is excellent in practical utility and durability. A noble metal catalyst is supported directly on the surface of the ceramic body and the second component, consisting of compound or composite compound of element having d or f orbit in the electron orbits thereof such as W, Co, Ti, Fe, Ga and Nb, is dispersed in the first component made of cordierite or the like that constitutes the substrate ceramic. The noble metal catalyst can be directly supported by bonding strength generated by sharing the d or f orbits of the second component, or through interaction with the dangling bond that is generated in the interface between the first component and the second component.

摘要:
There is provided a process for obtaining a cordierite honeycomb structural body with thin cell walls and no molding defects such as cell breakage or the like. Cell breakage is prevented by limiting the maximum particle size of the cordierite starting material powder to no greater than 85% of the slit width of the extrusion molding die so that the starting material particles will not clog inside the slits or the introduction port of the slits. As one cordierite starting material, talc with a mean particle size of 5 &mgr;m or greater is used to give a honeycomb structural body with a void volume of greater than 30%, for production of a honeycomb structural body, with good moldability, having a small thickness and a low heat capacity. It is preferred to add to the starting material at least a lubricant/humectant, a binder and/or a mixture of a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol derivative and a polyhydric alcohol.
