abstract = {A series of adsorbents and photocatalysts were developed using agricultural residues (olive stones) as raw materials.
Activated carbons (ACs) were synthesized by physical activation and posteriorly, impregnated with TiO2
by a hydrothermal method. Both adsorbents (ACs) and composites (carbon-TiO2) were texturally, morphologically
and chemically characterized by using complementary techniques (i.e., SEM, gas adsorption, TG, XRD,
pHPZC, and so on) and then, the affinity of these samples for the ethylene molecules was tested in columns under
dynamic conditions. The corresponding breakthrough curves were determined obtaining the amounts adsorbed
at the breakthrough and saturation points. Finally, the photooxidation of ethylene to CO2 using carbon-TiO2
composites was analysed under UV-Vis and near UV-Vis irradiations. The physicochemical characteristics of
supports and composites were correlated with their ability to remove ethylene, looking to identify the parameters
allowing to improve the performance of the samples.},
