On this globe, there is only a limited amount of freshwater available for drinking purposes. This water accounts for only 2% of the total available water. However, human activities have led to an alarming increase in the pollution of these assets through the extensive range of substances. Although nanomaterials have considerable potential for wastewater remediation, they can be difficult to remove after use. To reports these problems, considerable research efforts have been focused on the development of magnetic nanomaterials. The present review article offers the summary of the latest development in this field, with a focus on particular magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic nanocomposites covering two or more nanomaterials, magnetic nanocomposites comprising materials of biological basis. Furthermore, remaining responsibilities in the application of magnetic nanomaterials for practical wastewater treatment were discussed.
