An Overview of Magnetic Material: Preparation and Adsorption Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Magnetic Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

The issue of wastewater impurities along harmful heavy metal ion is rather critical. In this matter, there is a necessity for developed techniques to wastewater treatment. Recently, magnetic-based carbon materials application for the metal ion removal from water has significantly gotten attention. For years, researchers design techniques that emphasize on the magnetic material, in order to attain comprehensive benefit. This paper provided detailed review on the synthesis of magnetic materials. In addition, compressive review on heavy metal was narrated. Hence, magnetic-based material has proven excellent adsorption capacity for waste treatment.
