Abstract

An exhaust gas purification filter is used so as to support a NO X purification catalyst. The exhaust gas purification filter includes a honeycomb structure portion and a plug portion. The honeycomb structure portion includes a partition wall and cells. Numerous pores are formed in the partition wall. The cells are partitioned by the partition walls and form a flow path for an exhaust gas. The plug portion alternately seals an inflow end surface or an outflow end surface for the exhaust gas in the cells. The partition wall has a gas permeability coefficient that is equal to or greater than 0.35×10 −12 m 2 , a pore volume ratio of pore diameters of 9 μm or less that is equal to or less than 25%, and an average pore diameter that is equal to or greater than 12 μm.

Claims (28)

1. An exhaust gas purification filter comprising:

a substrate; and

a catalyst layer including a nitrogen oxide purification catalyst supported by the substrate, wherein

the substrate includes:

a honeycomb structure portion that includes a partition wall in which numerous pores are formed, and a plurality of cells that are partitioned by the partition walls and form a flow path for an exhaust gas; and

a plug portion that alternately seals an inflow end surface or an outflow end surface for the exhaust gas in the cells,

the partition wall has a gas permeability coefficient that is equal to or greater than 0.35×10 −12 m 2 , a pore volume ratio of pore diameters of 9 μm or less that is equal to or less than 25%, and an average pore diameter that is equal to or greater than 12 μm,

the catalyst layer is supported on the partition wall of the substrate,

a supported amount of the catalyst layer is 30 to 150 g/L, and

an average thickness of the catalyst layer is equal to or less than 6 μm.

2. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the gas permeability coefficient of the partition wall is equal to or less than 3.0×10 −12 m 2 .

3. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 2 , wherein

the pore volume ratio of pore diameters of 9 μm or less of the partition wall is equal to or greater than 10%.

4. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 3 , wherein

the average pore diameter of the partition wall is equal to or less than 25 μm.

5. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 4 , wherein

a pore wall area per unit volume of the partition wall is equal to or greater than 70000 μm 2 /μm 3 .

6. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the pore volume ratio of pore diameters of 9 μm or less of the partition wall is equal to or greater than 10%.

7. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the average pore diameter of the partition wall is equal to or less than 25 μm.

8. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 1 , wherein

a pore wall area per unit volume of the partition wall is equal to or greater than 70000 μm 2 /μm 3 .

9. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the nitrogen oxide purification catalyst is a three-way catalyst that is composed of precious metals.

10. The exhaust gas purification filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the honeycomb structure portion is made of a ceramic.
