Adsorptive-photocatalytic composites based on activated carbon (AC) and α-ferrous oxalate dihydrate (α-FOD) were synthesized by an original two-step method and subsequently used for the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions. To obtain the composites, ferrotitaniferous black mineral sands (0.6FeTiO·0.

This article presents a set of experimental data on the mechanical and physical properties of the Ecuadorian endemic bamboo species (), specifically the "Caña Mansa" biotype. The data on compressive, shear, tensile and bending strength, as well as the moisture content and density, were obtained by carrying out the corresponding tests following the ISO 22157:2019 standard. For this purpose, each bamboo culm examined was divided along its height into three sections that were thoroughly characterized.

Data revealing the phase and chemical compositions of natural black sands from "El Ostional" beach, located in the northern Ecuadorian Pacific coast have been presented. The samples were collected from six points over the shore area of approximately 500 × 40 m. The data on crystalline phases (iron titanium oxide, orthoclase feldspar and zircon) were determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), while semi-quantitative chemical analyses of major (Fe and Ti) and trace elements were obtained by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF).

This article presents several micromechanical models to predict the Young's modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion of titanate nanotube/YWO/HDPE composites. The equations and assumptions of the selected micromechanical models are described in detail for this ternary system. Data of the elastic constants, coefficient of thermal expansion of composite components and other associated parameters, obtained either by literature survey or processing of literature information, are compiled in this work.
