Composite particles, honeycomb structure, method for manufacturing honeycomb structure, and exhaust gas purifying apparatus

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide composite particles that have excellent NOx purification performance and can suppress water adsorption-caused contraction and water desorption-caused expansion and to provide a honeycomb structure that has excellent NOx purification performance and can suppress the breakage of the honeycomb unit due to the adsorption or desorption of water, a method for manufacturing the honeycomb structure, and an exhaust gas purifying apparatus including the honeycomb structure. The composite particles of the invention are composite particles having a metallic oxide attached to silicoaluminophosphate particles with a ratio of an amount of Si to a sum of amounts of Al and P in a range of 0.16 to 0.33, in which a specific surface area is in a range of 250 m²/g to 450 m²/g, and an external surface area is in a range of 30 m²/g to 90 m²/g.
