Amphiprotic catalysts have recently gained increased interest regarding applications in oil/water separation and pollutant purification. Many industries emit oil/water mixtures containing pollutants as wastewater. The amphiprotic catalysts reported thus far have used separated processes for oil/water separation and pollutant purification, which is not suitable for industrial applications requiring in-situ and continuous processes for oil/water separation and pollutant purification. Amphiprotic catalysts that can freely move between two phases, such as oil and water, to perform functions in each phase, such as the decomposition of aqueous and non-aqueous pollutants, have not been reported. Here, we report a novel approach-based magnetic amphiprotic catalyst (MAC) that can freely move between oil and water to perform functions in each phase, enabling the in-situ and continuous processes for oil/water separation and the decomposition of aqueous and non-aqueous pollutants in both phases. |
