Advanced oxidation processes, such as using titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis, are being developed to reduce or eliminate the toxicity of treated water. In this study, the removal of purified anatoxin-a (ANTX-a), liveDolichospermum flos-aquaecells, and a cell extract of this organism under UV-A/TiO2photocatalysis, creation of decomposition products and their toxicity were investigated. Total degradation of purified ANTX-a from the initial concentration of 10 mg·L−1with the addition of TiO2under UV-A irradiation was achieved in 30 min. Under these conditions several decomposition products were noted withm/zratio from 156.11 to 216.1. Analysis of the completely degraded ANTX-a sample using Thamnotoxkit F™ toxicity test showed that it was no longer toxic. TiO2photocatalysis was also efficient in the decomposition of the living cyanobacterial cells. Degradation of their cell structures and degradation of released toxin was also achieved in 30 min. Earlier homogenization of cyanobacteria culture significantly accelerated degradation of ANTX-a to 10 min.
