UV-Vis spectroscopic technique has been used for studying the photocatalytic degradation kinetics of methylene blue (MB) and congo red (CR). A comparative study with commercial TiO<sub>2</sub> (P25) was also done to find out the effectiveness of this synthesized TiO<sub>2</sub>. The synthesized TiO<sub>2 </sub>exhibited a high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB and CR but the commercial TiO<sub>2</sub> was more efficient.</p><p><em>Keywords</em>:  Nanocrystalline TiO<sub>2;</sub> Methylene Blue; Congo Red; Photocatalytic degradation kinetics.</p><p>© 2013 JSR Publications.
