Abstract

Pollution is serious environmental problem. One of causes of pollution is the presence of heavy metals. Besides heavy metal, there are plastics that cause serious problem in environment because they are difficult to decompose. These two problems appear an idea about synthesizing activated carbon-magnetite (Fe3O4) composite based on polyethylene that can absorbs heavy metals. The method used literature review of relevant articles. This study examines the properties of magnetite both physical and chemical along with applications and benefits of magnetite in daily life. This study can become a new perspective effort to reduce heavy metals pollution using plastic waste as composite with Fe3O4
