A hydrocalumite-type solid was synthesized by the homogeneous co-precipitation method by using Ca and Al nitrate solutions in a basic medium (NaOH). This solid was calcined at 700 and 900 °C, respectively. Then, solids were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and BET surface area measurements. Finally, these solids were tested as antacids by using a synthetic gastric juice. Results showed that calcined samples were able to neutralize the synthetic gastric juice in more extension as an as-synthesized hydrocalumite; however, the last solid showed better conditions as a potential antacid.

A hydrocalumite-type material (HC) was synthesized by the co-precipitation method, mixing Ca and Al nitrate solutions in a NaOH solution (pH ≅ 11). This solid was characterized by using different physico-chemical techniques such as: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and BET surface area measurements. Then, a portion of as-synthesized solid was calcined at 420 ºC (HC 420). Both calcined and pristine solids were impregnated with Mo (15% w/w as MoO 3 ). Ni or Co was also impregnated on Mo/HC or Mo/HC 420 in 1(Co or Ni):3 (Mo) atomic ratios to get catalytic precursors. These solids were also characterized by the above mentioned techniques. Catalytic precursors were tested in the thiophene hydrodesulfuration reaction at 280 ºC and atmospheric pressure. Cobalt promoted catalysts were more active than those promoted with Ni. However, thiophene conversions were lower than that of a conventional CoMo/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst.
