Abstract

A composite material composed of nanoparticles of transition metal(s) and magnetic ferric oxide, a method of preparing the same, and uses of the same are provided. The composite material is substantially composed of nanoparticles of transition metal(s) or alloy thereof and nanoparticles of magnetic ferric oxide, the size of nanoparticles of transition metal(s) or alloy thereof is in the range of 0.7 to 5 nm, the size of nanoparticles of magnetic ferric oxide is in the range of 5 to 50 nm, and the amount of transition metal(s) or alloy thereof is in the range of 0.1 to 30 wt %, based on the total weight of composite material, the magnetic ferric oxide is gamma-Fe2O3, Fe3O4, complex obtained from gamma-Fe2O3 by partial reduction, or complex obtained from Fe3O4 by partial reduction. The composite material has a high reactivity and an extreme selectivity for industrial reaction of hydrogenating halogeno-nitro-aromaticics to obtain halogeno-arylamine, and has important industrial applicability because the problem such as hydrogenolysis-dehalogenation during preparing halogeno arylamine by hydrogenating halogeno-nitro-aromatics is fully resolved by using the composite materials.
