of urgent importance. because of the superior performance of multifunctional nanocomposites in the remediation of heavy metal
species and arsenic, they could be potential candidates for organic dye removal from wastewater, as the dyes are basically organic
molecules, which are anionic, nonionic, or cationic. Thus by adjusting the pH, porosity, and integrated functionalities of multi-
functional nanocomposite adsorbents, organic dyes can be removed, and their comprehensive reuse is expected in the near future.

suMMary
In this chapter, we mainly focused on what we have achieved in environmental remediation with multifunctional polymer- and
carbon-based magnetic nanocomposites. The preparation, characterization, and property analysis of these materials are detailed.
Moreover, the superior performance of these synergistic materials in the remediation of waste species such as for chromium and
arsenic removal, especially when compared to the widely accepted activated carbon, indicates their great potential for applica-
tion in other types of pollutants, including, but not limited to, organic dyes that are discharged into the environment.
