The increasing occurrence of oil spills and industrial effluents containing have heightened the need for effective oil-water separation. This study developed a magnetic superhydrophobic melamine sponge using dip-coating method with ZnO, stearic acid, Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Characterization via XRD, FESEM, EDX, FT-IR, AFM, VSM, water contact angle measurements (160.96˚ ± 0.65˚) revealed its excellent properties. demonstrated sorption capacity 36.12 1.9 to 83.71 2.8 g·g−1 separation efficiency ranging from 97.82 1.3 99.83 1.7%. Its performance in removing real effluent was also evaluated. Additionally, exhibited reusability high separating emulsified droplets. These results highlight potential modified as an sorbent oily wastewater treatment.
