With the increase in population and the expansion of factories, water pollution, especially organic pollutants, have become a serious challenge for human health. This study has investigated the synthesis and performance of magnetic hydrogel based on carboxymethyl cellulose and metformin for the removal of organic pollutants from aqueous environments through the reduction method. Magnetic hydrogel was synthesized using solution polymerization method and its structural and physical properties were investigated using infrared Fourier transform spectrometer, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, thermal weighing analysis, elemental decomposition spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. was placed The results showed that the synthesized hydrogel has suitable magnetic properties and porous structure, which makes it effective for removing organic pollutants. The efficiency of hydrogel absorption in removing organic pollutants such as organic dyes (methylene blue and rhodamine B) and nitro compounds such as 4-nitrophenol from the aqueous medium was investigated using visible-ultraviolet spectroscopic absorption experiments. Various parameters such as contact time, initial pollutant concentration, and amount of hydrogel were investigated in order to determine the optimal conditions for pollutant absorption. In the visible-ultraviolet spectroscopic absorption analysis of pollutants, it was observed that the pollutant has been completely reduced. The recyclability of the hydrogel was investigated and the results showed that it can be reused up to 3 times without a significant decrease in its activity. These results show that the magnetic hydrogel based on carboxymethyl cellulose and metformin can be used as an effective and recyclable hydrogel to remove organic pollutants from aqueous environments.
