    Magnetic Induction Heating (MIH) of magnetite nanoparticles is employed as a novel synthesis procedure of carbon based magnetic nanocomposites. Magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and fructose (1:2 weight ratio) were mechanically mixed and submitted to a RF magnetic field (305 kHz). The heat generated by the nanoparticles leads to the decomposition of the sugar and to the formation of an amorphous carbon matrix. Two sets of nanoparticles, with mean diameter sizes of 20 and 100 nm, are comparatively analysed. Structural (X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)), electrical and magnetic (resistivity, SQUID magnetometry) characterizations confirm the nanoparticle carbon coating through the MIH procedure. The percentage of the carbonaceous fraction is suitably increased controlling the magnetic heating capacity of the magnetic nanoparticles. The procedure enables the synthesis of multifunctional nanocomposites with optimized properties to be applied in different technological fields. Particularly, Cr (VI) removal from aqueous media is presented employing the carbon nanocomposite with 20 nm Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
