AB  - The elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low concentration is a 
      subject of great interest because these compounds are very harmful for the 
      environment and human health. In this work, we have developed a synthesis 
      methodology of TiO(2) that allows obtaining meso-macroporous materials with 
      hierarchical porosity and with high thermal stability for their application as 
      photocatalysts in the removal of VOCs, specifically propene. The materials 
      synthesized in this work were characterized by Scanning electron microscope 
      (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), 
      Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG), and nitrogen adsorption. It is observed that the 
      samples calcined at 250  degrees C and 500  degrees C present a high photoactivity for the 
      photooxidation of propene, which is similar to the benchmark material P25 
      (commercial TiO(2)). Moreover, the textural properties are better than those for 
      P25, indicating that the samples are interesting for the preparation of 
      photocatalysts with different conformations, such as in the form of coatings and 
      fillings in different size scales.
