Abstract
► Crystal violet (CV) is a typical triphenylmethane dye; it is toxic to mammalian cells and is a mutagen and a mitotic poison. ► An FeGAC/H2O2 process was employed in this research to treat CV-contaminated wastewater. ► The presence of iron oxide-coated granular activated carbon (FeGAC) greatly improved the oxidative ability of H2O2 for the removal of CV. ► The reaction intermediates were separated and identified using HPLC-ESI-MS. ► The N-demethylation step might be the main reaction pathway for the removal of CV.
