An exhaust gas treatment apparatus for treating exhaust gases generated in semiconductor manufacturing processes. It includes a main pipe, a U pipe, a discharge pipe and a tank. The main pipe has an inlet to receive exhaust gases, a heater surrounding the main pipe to heat the exhaust gases to form exhaust gas powder, a sprinkler to spray cooling water to cool the heated exhaust gases to form vapor and waste water and an outlet to discharge vapor and waste water into the U pipe. The U pipe has a first connector connecting with the main pipe and a second connector connecting with the discharging pipe. The tank is located below the U pipe under the first connector for receiving lump type exhaust gas powder scrapping from the inside wall of the main pipe. The U pipe will not be blocked by the lump type exhaust gas powder so that exhaust gas treatment efficiency won't be harmfully affected.
