PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove large and small contaminants in order and, if needed, fine contaminants by an optical detection of the contaminants from a mixture liquid of water with raw seaweeds. SOLUTION: This contaminant-removing system raw seaweeds consists of a large contaminants-removing means which extracts seaweeds and water from a mixture liquid of water with the raw seaweeds and separates large contaminants as residues and a small contaminant-removing means which extracts small contaminants and water from the mixture liquid after the above- mentioned treatment and separates the raw seaweeds as the residues. This contaminant-removing device connects a means for feeding the mixture liquid of water with the raw seaweeds containing contaminants and a means for separating the raw seaweeds from the contaminant and an automatic discharging means.
