Abstract

Sustainable wastewater treatment requires economical, high-performance materials. Magnetic hydrochar, synthesized from low-cost feedstocks, combines tunable surface properties and magnetic functionality, enabling efficient pollutant removal, facile magnetic separation, and cost-effectiveness. This review explores recent advancements in the synthesis and application of magnetic hydrochar for wastewater treatment. Magnetic hydrochar is promising for practical wastewater treatment, as demonstrated by sustainability assessments, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical implementation in environmental remediation.
