The invention relates to a method for degrading organic pollutants in water by gradient ozone catalytic oxidation, and relates to a gradient ozone catalytic oxidation combination method for degrading organic pollutants in water. By the method, the problem that the conventional advanced oxidation technology has defects during individual use, the problem that the organic pollutants in the water cannot be removed efficiently, the problem that the influence of the pH value and temperature of the water on the method is large, and the problem that high-toxicity byproducts are formed are solved. In the method, water treatment is realized by combining two or three of a process for treating O3 individually, an enhanced catalytic oxidation process for O3 and an O3/ultraviolet (UV) process sequentially. By the reasonable optimizing and gradient combination of the three treatment modes, the method is suitable for wide pH values and a wide temperature range, the pollutants with intermediate toxicity are controlled to be formed, the toxicity of the pollutants is reduced, the pollutants in the water is degraded efficiently and completely, and the content of oxidative species in effluent is controlled. An efficient oxidation treatment effect is kept at low temperature, and the generation of bromate, nitroso dimethylamine, chlorate, perchlorate, iodate and periodate can be controlled greatly.
