The present invention discloses a phenol-containing wastewater treatment method. According to the present invention, the treatment process is based on a special treatment apparatus; the special treatment apparatus comprises a catalytic oxidation pool, an oxidation stabilization pool, a post-biochemical BAF pool, a clear water pool, a dilution comprehensive tank, a pre-treatment first-stage BAF pool, a pre-treatment second-stage BAF pool and an effluent pool, wherein the dilution comprehensive tank, the pre-treatment first-stage BAF pool, the pre-treatment second-stage BAF pool and the effluentpool are sequentially connected through a front-section transmission pipeline, an ozone generator is connected to the interior of the catalytic oxidation pool through a gas pipeline, ozone catalyticparticles comprise active alumina particles, copper oxide, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol, and a carrier comprises, by weight, high-density polyethylene, a polypropylene resin, slaked lime, Dow powder active carbon, light calcium carbonate, maleic anhydride, dicumyl peroxide, gelatin, chitin and magnetic powder; and with the phenol-containing wastewater treatment method, the difficulty-degraded macromolecule organic matter is oxidized into the easily-biodegradable small molecule organic matter, such that the biodegradability of the effluent is improved.
