Photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) on TiO 2 in presence of activated carbons (AC) was studied. Apparent first order rate constant for the degradation of MB was higher in presence of any AC indicating that the binary materials TiO 2 -AC showed a clear enhancement in the photocatalytic activity relative to TiO 2 and this enhancement was associated with the properties of AC.
