    Filtration is a basic requirement for the production of clean drinking water. However, filtering of large-scale drinking water is a time-consuming and costly process. Addressed herein is a new approach to the removal of microplastics, defined as dangerous organic pollutants, from water. As magnetic adsorbent, highly porous and well dispersed C@Fe3O4 composites were produced by a facile and rapid one-pot microwave synthesis method in minutes. The prepared C@Fe3O4 composites were used as an adsorbent in water contaminated with microplastics. The obtained results revealed that the microplastics adhered to the composite surface and were successfully removed from the water with an external magnet. In this point, this study provides a new approach to the rapid, effective, and low-cost removal of microplastic pollutants from drinking water.
