2. Description of the Related Art There is known a method of treating wastewater by light irradiation in the presence of a semiconductor material as a photocatalyst (for example, JP-A-63-54992). In this method, low molecular weight compounds are oxidatively decomposed to carbon dioxide gas in a relatively short time.However, compounds with large molecular weight such as aromatic compounds usually stop at the intermediate decomposition product stage and are extremely difficult to reach complete treatment. Light irradiation for a long time is necessary. For this reason, the cost required for light irradiation is high. Oxidation methods such as ozone treatment have been conventionally performed, but they require long-time treatment, and in many cases, complete treatment is difficult.

In the present invention, as a pretreatment method, an ozone treatment method and a method of irradiating with ultraviolet rays by adding hydrogen peroxide or chlorine can be carried out. A normal ozone generator can be used for the ozone treatment, and the generated amount thereof is 0.5 to 2.0 g / for wastewater amount of 200 ml to 5 liters (for harmful substances of 0.1 to 3 g). Time is appropriate. If the amount of ozone is small, the decomposition is insufficient,
If too much, the effect does not increase. At that time, agitating the waste water can reduce the aeration amount and the aeration time. With the method of hydrogen peroxide and UV irradiation, it depends on the concentration of the treated substance in the wastewater, but it is 300 per 0.1g of harmful substances.
It is suitable to add hydrogen peroxide of about 30,000 ppm to the waste water, and the waste water is irradiated with an ultraviolet lamp directly or through quartz glass. When adding chlorine and irradiating with ultraviolet rays, the amount of chlorine is preferably 2 g or more per 1 g of harmful substances. If the amount is too small, the effect is small, and if it is too large, post-treatment is required. UV irradiation is 200-4
The light of 00 nm varies depending on the concentration of the substance to be treated,
It is preferable to irradiate for more than one minute. In the present invention, the toxic substance refers to a pollutant in wastewater, and refers to a substance that needs to be removed toxicly for environmental protection, not whether it is harmful to the human body.

Then, the semiconductor powder is suspended in the pretreated waste water, or the waste water is brought into contact with the membrane on which the semiconductor powder is immobilized. The wastewater is irradiated with light directly or through a glass container. Although various metal oxides can be used as the semiconductor, titanium dioxide (rutile and anatase), zinc oxide, and tungsten trioxide are preferable.
The concentration of semiconductor powder is 1 g of harmful substances in wastewater,
It is in the range of 0.5 to 10 g. In the case of powder, the particle size is 0.
It is 1 to 3.0 μm. A lamp whose emitted light contains part of ultraviolet light and visible light can be used as the light source. For example, high and low pressure mercury lamps, xenon lamps and halogen lamps, and when the semiconductor is titanium dioxide or tungsten trioxide, sunlight can also be used.
