TREATMENT OF INTERNAL SECRETION DISTURBABLE MATERIAL- CONTAINING WATER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently decompose and remove the internal secretion disturbable material included in water by bringing the water containing the internal secretion disturbable material into contact with a hydrophobic porous body having a catalyst function to have the internal secretion disturbable material adsorbed on the porous body and chemically decomposing the adsorbed internal secretion disturbable material. SOLUTION: This treatment method adequate for the treatment of the water containing an internal secretion disturbable material at a concentration of 0.1 to 10 mg/liter and containing a hydrophobic material in this internal secretion disturbable material consists in bringing the water containing the internal secretion disturbable material into contact with the hydrophobic porous body having catalyst function to have the internal secretion disturbable material adsorbed on the porous body and chemically decompose the internal secretion disturbable material. The hydrophobic porous body having a main pore size of 8 angstrome is used for the hydrophobic porous body having the catalyst function. The chemical decomposition of the internal secretion disturbable material is executed by the addition of an oxidizer, the addition of a reducing agent, the irradiation with UV rays or either of the addition of the oxidizer and the irradiation with the UV rays.
