There is disclosed a method for treating waste water containing nitrate ions by subjecting the waste water to decomposition and oxidation to eliminate a harmful gas, the method including the steps of: (a) mixing a waste water containing 10 to 90 % by weight nitrate ions in terms of ammonium nitrate with a lower alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms to prepare a mixture, (b) decomposing the mixture at a temperature of 250 DEG C or higher to generate a decomposition gas, and (c) reacting the decomposition gas with a gas containing oxygen at a temperature of 250 DEG C or higher to render the decomposition gas harmless. <IMAGE> |
