Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">A novel, magnetically separable composite photocatalyst, titania coated with magnetic activated carbon, is prepared by depositing TiO<sub>2</sub> onto the surface of magnetic activated carbon which was prepared by directly adsorbing of magnetic Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles onto activated carbon. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and vibration sample magnetometer. Specific surface area is determined by BET method and is found to be 381 m<sup>2</sup>/g. The photocatalytic activity of the composite is determined by degradation of the model contaminant of water, i.e., <em>p</em>-nitrophenol. The degradation rate of <em>p</em>-nitrophenol by composite was higher than 90% after the composite was reused for five cycles. The synergy factor for the degradation of <em>p</em>-nitrophenol by titania coated with magnetic activated carbon was found to be 1.45. The composite can be easily separated by a magnet.</p>
