Filtration is an established water‐purification technology. However, due to low flow rates, the filtration of large volumes of water is often not practical. Herein, we report an alternative purification approach in which a magnetic nanoparticle composite is used to remove organic, inorganic, microbial, and microplastics pollutants from water. The composite is based on a polyoxometalate ionic liquid (POM‐IL) adsorbed onto magnetic microporous core–shell Fe 2 O 3 /SiO 2 particles, giving a magnetic POM‐supported ionic liquid phase (magPOM‐SILP). Efficient, often quantitative removal of several typical surface water pollutants is reported together with facile removal of the particles using a permanent magnet. Tuning of the composite components could lead to new materials for centralized and decentralized water purification systems.
