The Brown-Altermatt model is applied to evaluate the oxidation states of vanadium on the \(\mathrm{Ti}\) \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(() 01)\)-rutile and -anatase surfaces. On the basis of this model, possible correlations between different geometries of vanadium crystallographic sites on these surfaces and the

Abstract
Titania‐supported iron (5 wt%) catalysts were prepared by a sol–gel method using different gelation pH and metal precursors (Fe(II) and Fe(III)). Characterization data of calcined catalysts revealed that, irrespective of the nature of the metal precursor, iron is present in all cases as ferric oxide. However, the crystalline phase exhibited by titania does depend on the metal precursor used. The catalytic activity of the catalysts, tested in the combustion of methane at atmospheric pressure, is not related to the dispersion of iron oxide. Thus, Fe^3+^ ions may be obtained in two extreme situations; one highly dispersed in which Fe^3+^ ions are placed in the titania network and another in which large Fe~2~O~3~ crystals are located on the surface of the catalyst. The former exhibits the best performance in the combustion of methane.

Cu/TiO 2 catalyst was synthesized by cogelling CuSO 4 , or CuCl 2 , with titanium ethoxide. Samples were nanocrystalline with titania phase concentration that depended on copper precursor and sample annealing temperature. Phase quantitative analysis was performed by re5ning crystalline structure. Th
Charcoals were prepared in the laboratory under known carbonization conditions from hard and soft woods. The charcoals were studied by elemental analysis, adsorption of carbon dioxide at 195K, Hg porosimetry, DGA and ignition temperature measurements. The properties of the charcoals were compared an
