Abstract

A method for treating water containing organic sulfur compounds comprises adjusting the pH value of the water in a pH adjustment tank, biologically treating the water in a biological treatment tank, adjusting the pH value of the water to be alkaline at any places in the biological treatment tank, maintaining the dissolved oxygen concentration of the water to 2 mg/L or higher at any places in the biological treatment tank, and supplying a part of the water to the pH adjustment tank for a further treatment. An apparatus for carrying out the above method is also provided.
