Abstract
Water pollution by heavy metals, dyes, and antibiotics is a serious environmental problem. Efficient and recyclable adsorbents are needed. Magnetic nanocomposite adsorbents (MNAs) offer a promising solution. They combine magnetic nanoparticles with various carriers. This gives them high adsorption capacity and easy magnetic separation. This review covers recent progress in MNAs. We focus on three carrier types: carbon-based materials, inorganic minerals, and natural polymers. We analyze common synthesis methods like co-precipitation and hydrothermal synthesis. The synergy between components enhances pollutant removal, however, challenges remain. These include poor selectivity in mixed pollutants and difficult large-scale production. Stability during reuse is also a concern. Future work should aim for greener synthesis and better stability. This review provides useful insights for designing high-performance MNAs for water treatment.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
