TiO 2  nanoparticles were synthesized by sol–gel and hydrothermal methods from Titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The obtained materials were studied for photocatalytic removal of antibiotic ciprofloxacin under UVA light. The samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and N 2 -physisorption. The most active samples were obtained at pH 1.0 via sol–gel synthesis (SG TiO 2  pH 1.0); and using 2-propanol at 110 °C via hydrothermal method (HT TiO 2  Pr 110). The SG TiO 2  pH 1.0 sample demonstrated higher crystallinity but lower specific surface area (23 m 2 /g) compared to the HT TiO 2  Pr 110 sample (315 m 2 /g). Both samples demonstrated good photoactivity after 120 min, removing ciprofloxacin up to 99%. However, adsorption accounted for most antibiotic removal by the HT TiO 2  Pr 110 sample, while photocatalysis played predominant role in the case of the SG TiO 2  pH 1.0 sample.
