@misc{10481/97134, year = {2024}, month = {10}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10481/97134}, abstract = {Two series of TiO2-based zeolite composites (BEA structures) were prepared by employing a sol–gel method using two different synthesis approaches, i.e., acidic and basic media. Different photocatalytic composites obtained with increasing amounts of TiO2 (10–50 wt%) were thoroughly characterized and subsequently tested in the photooxidation of ethylene in a continuous gas-phase system. Results showed that sol–gel experimental conditions had a significant effect on the final properties of the samples, as photocatalytic composites obtained under basic conditions showed better TiO2 dispersion and interaction with the BEA support than their counterparts prepared in an acidic medium. The same photocatalysts showed high performance in ethylene photooxidation, demonstrating complete mineralization and results comparable to or even better than those of the bulk TiO2 material.}, organization = {Projects Nano4fresh-PRIMA/0015/2019 (http://doi.org/ 10.54499/PRIMA/0015/2019), UIDB/00100/2020 (CQE) (https:// doi.org/10.54499/UIDB/00100/2020), UIDP/00100/2020 (CQE) (https://doi.org/10.54499/UIDP/00100/2020), UIDB/00097/2020 (CEGIST) (https://doi.org/10.54499/UIDB/00097/2020) and LA/ P/0056/2020 (IMS) (https://doi.org/10.54499/LA/P/0056/2020)}, organization = {Project PCI2020-112045 from MCIN/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033 and European Union Next Generation EU/ PRTR}, organization = {Projects PID2021-126579OB-C31 funded through MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and “ERDF A way of making Europe”; P21_00208 from Consejería de Universidad, Investigación e Innovación – Junta de Andalucía}, organization = {MCIN/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033 and the European Social Found (FSE) “El FSE invierte en tu futuro” for a Ramon y Cajal research contract (RYC-2019-026634-I)}, organization = {R.
