A ceramic honeycomb body having intersecting walls that form channels extending axially from a first end face to a second end face and plugs to seal the channels at least at one of the first end face and the second end face. The plugs include a first active component, such as a catalytically active component or a chemically active component, of the plug structure, wherein the intersecting walls comprise no first active component and optionally have a second active component of the wall structure or disposed on the walls. Included are methods of making the ceramic honeycomb body having plugs of the first active component and walls with no first active component.

Bioactive, ceramic medical cements and methods for its use in treatment of bones and teeth in mammals are disclosed. This cement is non-exothermic and non-toxic, based upon setting of hydraulic ceramic compounds containing calcia, alumina, and silica phases. The self-hardening cement sets in vivo and in high humidity environments, and can be used in vivo without being easily washed out of the site. It also has dimensional stability, is resistant to acids present in an infection site or supragingivally, and has biocompatibility advantages of low inflammation and the formation of calcification layers in direct apposition to body tissue. Options include the addition of various radiopaque materials, and a variety of delivery systems including powder and liquid, capsule or pouch delivery, multiple pastes, or a unitary paste.

A process for producing a ceramic catalyst involves the steps of: a) providing functional particles having a catalytically inactive pore former as a support surrounded by a layer of a catalytically active material, b) processing the functional particles with inorganic particles to form a catalytic composition, c) treating the catalytic composition thermally to form a ceramic catalyst, wherein the ceramic catalyst comprises at least porous catalytically inactive cells which are formed by the pore formers in the functional particles, which are embedded in a matrix comprising the inorganic particles, which form a porous structure and which are at least partly surrounded by an active interface layer comprising the catalytically active material of the layer of the functional particles.

An SCR catalyst produced in by this method has an improved NO.sub.x conversion rate compared to a conventionally produced SCR catalyst.
