A magnetic porous carbon composite (MPC) was prepared from metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) by the one-step calcination method. The MPC was characterized by SEM, TEM, TG, DTG, Raman and XPS. The adsorption and degradation performance of MPC towards four organic dyes were investigated. The maximum adsorption amount of magenta on MPC was 191.94 mg g-1 at 25 °C. Furthermore, the MPC showed remarkable stability for it can be recycled 5 times through the facile magnetic separation without obvious loss of activity. The degradation efficiency of MPC toward four kinds of organic pollutants was nearly 100% within 36 ​min, which was much higher than that previously reported.
