ABSTRACT:
A method for processing substances to be degraded is provided. The method includes a decomposing step in which a mixed gas containing chlorine and the substances to be degraded is irradiated with light to decompose the substances to be degraded, a contact step in which gas generated through the decomposing step is contacted with an alkaline solution to trap chlorine contained in the gas generated through the decomposing step in the alkaline solution, and a reusing step in which the alkaline solution containing the chlorine as a source of generating the chlorine is used again in the decomposing step.
