The invention relates to a water treatment agent for removing phenolic compounds from water. The water treatment agent is composed of Nu-terpinene, 3-phenyl-2-acrylic acid n-propyl ester, rabeprazole, iron ammonium oxalate, Alpha-copaene, climbazole, buflomedil, vinyl laurate, ferric chloride, asiaticoside, phthalylsulfathiazole, 3-nonene-2-one, polyacrylamide, (R-(R*, R*))-2, 3, 4-trihydroxybutyraldehyde, fucoxanthine, and 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose. The water treatment agent is highly able to complex with the phenolic compound, complex precipitate forms fast, the removal rate of the phenolic compounds is up to 99%, toxicity is low, little usage is required, no hazard is caused to the water, and treatment cost is low.
