Abstract: The increasing contamination of water resources by heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and emerging pollutants necessitates the development of advanced multifunctional materials for efficient remediation. This research proposes the design and development of a novel Magnetic Biochar–Metal Oxide–Polymer Nanocomposite (MBMP-NC) that exhibits dual functionality as both an adsorbent and a heterogeneous catalyst. The material integrates adsorption capacity through porous biochar and functional polymers, catalytic degradation via semiconductor metal oxides, and magnetic recovery using Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. The study covers synthesis, characterization, adsorption kinetics, catalytic mechanisms, and reusability. The nanocomposite demonstrates high removal efficiency (>95%), rapid kinetics, and excellent recyclability, making it a promising candidate for sustainable wastewater treatment.
