The present invention aims at providing a porous molded product comprising magnesium and aluminum which is satisfactory in both of a specific surface area and mechanical properties, can be suitably used as filters, drying agents, adsorbents, purifying agents, deodorants, carriers for catalysts, etc., includes a large amount of micropores, and has a large specific surface area and a high strength, as well as a process for producing the porous molded product. The porous molded product of the present invention comprises at least magnesium and aluminum, and having a magnesium content of 10 to 50% by weight in terms of a magnesium atom, an aluminum content of 5 to 35% by weight in terms of an aluminum atom, a pore volume of 0.01 to 0.5 cm3/g, an average pore diameter of not more than 300Åand an average collapse strength of not less than 3 kg, and can be produced by molding hydrotalcite comprising at least magnesium and aluminum and then calcining the resulting molded product at a temperature of 500 to 1500° C. |
