1. A process for preparing a date palm charcoal iron oxide nanocomposite, the process comprising:

preparing date palm charcoal by heating raw date palm waste in a slow pyrolysis process;

grinding the date palm charcoal to obtain a fine powder of date palm charcoal;

adding the fine powder of date palm charcoal and ferric nitrate to one or more solvents to obtain a mixture;

drying the mixture to obtain a carbon matrix of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles; and

separating the carbon matrix of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles from non-magnetic carbon particles to obtain the date palm charcoal iron oxide nanocomposite.
