In the present work, a study was made of the properties of a photocatalyst-adsorbent based on metal oxide, which was titanium dioxide (TiO2). The photodegradation activity of two organic dyes under the action of light was analyzed. The effect of the phase composition of the photocatalyst was compared on the example of three modifications of TiO2 - rutile, anatase and their mixture.
