Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are considered as a viable choice for the isolation and separation of solid components at the end of liquid-phase reactions during wastewater treatment. This review has explored the superior properties of MNPs in photocatalysis, adsorption, coagulation, flocculation, and filtration for the treatment of wastewater pollutants. Various synthetic approaches have been reported for the development and optimization of eco-friendly and cost-effective MNPs for the treatment of water samples contaminated with dyes, pigments, heavy metals, pesticides, and other organic pollutants. Finally, the challenges of MNPs in wastewater treatment for mass production, characteristics, industrial application, storage, and energy usage are highlighted as to tackle for further exploration.
