Catalyst block
Provided is a catalyst block for cleaning exhaust gas, having: a square-shaped honeycomb core provided with first-fourth outside surfaces; a first plate attached to the first outside surface; a second plate attached to the second outside surface; and an exterior frame disposed along the outer periphery of the firm and solid honeycomb core formed from the honeycomb core, the first plate and the second plate, the exterior frame being provided with a recessed part that at least encases the first plate, the second plate, the third outside surface and the fourth outside surface. In the catalyst block, a catalyst is supported in the honeycomb core, the first plate and the second plate, and the catalyst is not supported in the exterior frame.
1. A catalyst block for purification of exhaust gas comprising:
a rigid rectangular honeycomb core having a large number of exhaust gas passages for the honeycomb core allowing exhaust gas to pass, first and second outer surfaces that face to each other in an orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to the exhaust gas passages, and third and fourth outer surfaces that face to each other in the orthogonal direction;
a first plate attached to the first outer surface;
a second plate attached to the second outer surface; and
an outer frame that is disposed along an outer periphery of the honeycomb core, the first plate, and the second plate, and includes a concave part housing at least the first plate, the second plate, the third outer surface, and the fourth outer surface, wherein
a catalyst is carried on the honeycomb core, the first plate, and the second plate, and the catalyst is not carried on the outer frame,
