dc.description.abstractCircular Economy implies strategies for waste valorization and reuse to produce higher-value products [1]. In this context, exhausted olive pomace, a waste biomass derived from olive industry was used to synthesize activated carbon (AC) through slow pyrolysis, followed by activation with CO2 to optimize the adsorbent's porosity. The pyrolysis furnace was initially maintained under an inert atmosphere with a nitrogen flow rate of 100 NmL/min, considering three different temperature stages reached through the application of a heating ramp of 5ºC/min up to 400°C and 600°C (maintained 1 hour each) and up to 800°C. Activation with CO2 occurs in the first hour at this temperature, followed by 3 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere, completing the process in 9 hours. The geopolymer (GP) was synthesized using 10 g of fly ash, a byproduct of the combustion of municipal solid waste, mixed with an alkaline solution, a mixture of 5,67g of sodium silicate and 2,27g of sodium hydroxide (10M), to initiate the geopolymerization reaction. The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was based on the methodology of Díaz de Tuesta et al. [2], by chemical vapor deposition with plastic waste as the precursor. The results obtained for textural characterization are presented in Table 1. AC showed the highest surface area (527 m²/g) and a pore volume of 0.318 cm³/g, can be advantageous for adsorption, while CNT functions effectively as a catalyst despite its lower surface area. Acid-base characterization showed that AC possesses high basicity (1250 μmol/g), enhancing its ability to adsorb acidic contaminants, while CNT and GP demonstrated balanced acid and basic properties, with point of zero charge (pHpzc) values of 9.86 for AC, 6.9 for CNT, and 7.6 for GP. Elemental analysis (CHNS) revealed that AC contained 63.0% C, 0.8% H, 18.0% O, and 16.4% ash. CNT, in contrast, had a higher carbon content of 92.5% and 6.0% ash.eng
