PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adsorb and remove the endocrine disrupting organic compound(s) contained in water in a minute amount with very high efficiency and to detoxify the water by bringing water containing an endocrine disrupting organic compound(s) into contact with a hydrophobic material. ;SOLUTION: This treatment process comprises the process that brings water containing an endocrine disrupting organic compound(s) into contact with a hydrophobic material, wherein: as the hydrophobic material to be used, any material having sufficient hydrophobicity can be used without special limitation, however, a carbon material or alkylated silica, each having ≥12 Å main pore size, can preferably be used. As the carbon material, active carbon in a powdery, granular or fibrous form is preferred and further, as the active carbon, any commercial active carbon can be used and optionally, active carbon obtained by subjecting an ion exchange resin to carbonization treatment and thereafter to activation treatment, can also be used. The hydrophobic material other than such carbon materials is obtained by subjecting the surface of a porous material to alkylation treatment and examples of such porous materials are alumina, silica, zeolite, etc. However, a silica-based porous material can preferably be used as the porous material.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
