Applications of Magnetic Materials in Water Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

In the field of water treatment materials, the phenomenon of residues is a major constraint for implementing urban wastewater treatment and restoration. Uncontrolled suspensions prolong the sedimentation time and increase operational costs. The application of magnetic fields in water treatment processes has been shown to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these processes. The presence of a magnetic field can have a significant impact on various aspects of water treatment, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. However, the current theoretical framework mainly focuses on evaluating the efficiency of magnetic materials in water treatment and the role of magnetochemistry throughout the treatment process, without a detailed exploration of its mechanisms. Various experts, including synthetic chemists, physicists, environmentalists, and materials scientists, have been devoted to developing this promising field. They have provided an evidence-based knowledge system demonstrating the effectiveness of magnetic water treatment materials, which has been applied in water treatment operations. This Special Issue is published in the open access journal Magnetochemistry aiming to disclose cutting-edge research articles that have an impact on the application of magnetic nanomaterials in water pollution control. Researchers are invited to submit original research papers on topics such as magnetic catalysts, coagulants/flocculants, adsorbents, etc.
