The invention provides an arsenic-containing wastewater treatment method which comprises the following steps: adding an oxidizing agent into arsenic-containing wastewater, stirring for reaction, filtering after the reaction is completed, removing filter residues, and carrying out subsequent treatment on filtrate, pouring the filtrate into a microwave reactor, starting microwaves, heating, then slowly dropwise adding ferric salt, carrying out an arsenic precipitation reaction under the condition that the pH value is 2-3, carrying out heat preservation and aging after the reaction is completed, and then filtering to obtain a low-arsenic wastewater solution and filter residues which are scorodite; and firstly adding a neutralizer into a low-arsenic wastewater solution to adjust the pH value, then adding ferric salt to deeply remove residual arsenic in the low-arsenic wastewater, and filtering to obtain filtrate, namely arsenic-removed wastewater. According to the treatment method disclosed by the invention, the arsenic-containing wastewater is treated by microwave assistance, so that the wastewater treatment efficiency is effectively improved, the consumption of ferric salt in the subsequent deep arsenic removal process is effectively reduced, and the hazardous waste amount is reduced and the cost is further reduced.
