Application of the nanocatalyst with re-usability properties increases the efficiency and reduces the operational costs. The nanocatalyst has been synthesized and investigated at laboratorial scale.
According to Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council (INIC), in this research, a magnetic catalyst was synthesized on iron nanoparticles, which is able to convert aromatics to thiocyanate in a selective manner by reducing the number of side reactions. Thiocyanate is a group of organic materials that is used in the production of medications and drugs.
