This work represents research into materials designed to improve the environment. The study was carried out on aluminum hydroxide xerogels and alumina catalysts obtained by the Controlled Double Jet Precipitation (CDJP) process at different pH values. It has been shown that the pH of the CDJP process determines the content of aluminum-bound nitrate ions in the aluminum hydroxide.

It was established that all investigated samples were capable for the water uptake from the gas phase. The ability of water incorporation was due to not only by the presence of oxygen vacancies, but also due to the presence of La-O blocks in the structure.
