             abstract = "The main objective of this work was to evaluate nanocomposites 
                         formed by TiO2-CNT (carbon nanotube) and TiO2-C 
                         (resorcinol/formaldehyde) via a sonocatalytic process. The 
                         synthesis of composites was performed by the sol-gel method using 
                         titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OPr)4-TTIP), acetic acid and ethylene 
                         glycol as dispersing medium. Ultrasound was used as the 
                         irradiation source and methylene blue was chosen as a model 
                         substance. In addition, the adsorption capacity was studied in an 
                         attempt to achieve greater ratio degradation/adsorption. The 
                         methylene blue concentration after adsorption and sonocatalysis 
                         was investigated by UVvis spectroscopy. It was found that 
                         adsorption was an important factor to achieve high degradation 
                         capacity. However, the sonocatalytic activity decreased when 
                         adsorption was too intense.",
