Magnetically recoverable catalysts have received considerable attention because of numerous advantages. They allow easy separation of catalysts from the reaction medium, thus, conservation of energy, cheaper target products, and more environmentally friendly processes. In addition to magnetic separation, in many cases, the presence of magnetic nanoparticles enhances the catalyst performance due to electron transfer or other mechanisms. On the other hand, magnetic nanoparticles could be unstable in a reaction medium (iron oxide at low pH) and need to be protected or the reaction medium needs to be modified. In my presentation I will discuss synthesis and characterization of magnetically recoverable catalysts and enhancement of catalytic activity or a change of the reaction mechanism due to the magnetic nanoparticle influence.
