The present investigation studied the physical-mechanical (fluidity, resistance to compression, absorption and adherence) and photocatalytic (self-cleaning and degradation of nitrogen dioxide) properties that titanium dioxide (TiO2) provides to mortar, adding it as an additive in the mix, in 3%, 5% and 7% of the weight of the cement. The mixture design of the standard mortar was carried out, that is, without the addition of TiO2, which was compared with the mortar added with TiO2 at the percentages mentioned. The water / cement ratio chosen was 0.85. The first test to which the mortar was subjected was the fluidity test, which influences its workability and was carried out in a plastic state. According to the results obtained, the fluidity of the mortar decreases by increasing the percentage of TiO2, for 3% of TiO2, the mortar still has a plastic consistency, and for 5% and 7% it has a dry consistency. The second test to which the mortar was subjected was in the hardened state, this being compressive strength, according to NTP 334.051, in which the samples are subjected to compression force. The resistance of the mortar modified with 3% of TiO2 rises very little compared to the standard mortar, however, when modifying it with 5% and 7% this resistance drops much more. The third test was the absorption test, which was carried out according to NTP 339,631, decreasing absorption by increasing the percentages of TiO2. Regarding the adherence test, it was carried out according to the Chilean Standard (NCh) 167, the adherence increased by increasing the percentages of TiO2. For the study of the photocatalytic properties (self-cleaning and degradation of nitrogen dioxide) that TiO2 provides to the mortar, they were carried out through the test of the photodegradation factor R, for 4 and 26 hours. For self-cleaning, a violet dye, called rhodamine B, was used in mortar cubes, considerably increasing the degradation factor for the percentages added with TiO2. Nitrogen dioxide was used for the degradation of gases, being one of the most polluting gases for the environment today, subjecting buckets of mortars added and without adding this harmful gas, also resulting in a considerable increase in the degradation factor for the percentages added with TiO2.
