AB  - The adsorption and photodegradation of acridine orange (AO) and acriflavine (AF) 
      dyes on two mesoporous titania crystalline phases, anatase and rutile, were 
      experimentally studied. Anatase and rutile were characterized by nitrogen 
      adsorption, electron scanning and transmission microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. 
      The adsorption capacity of rutile was higher than that of anatase, while the 
      reverse is observed for photodegradation of both dyes. The adsorption of AF on 
      both adsorbents was higher than that of AO, which was related with the smaller 
      size of AF molecules compared with those of AO, therefore the access of AF to the 
      adsorption sites is favored.
