Abstract:
1. A method for treating an organic and/or inorganic substrate comprising: (a) providing a substrate mixture which contains the organic and/or inorganic substrate in a reaction chamber; (b) adding a magnetizable aggregate to the substrate mixture, wherein the magnetizable aggregate comprises (i) a magnetizable support and (ii) an active component immobilized on the magnetizable support; (c) converting the substrate mixture to a product mixture with the magnetizable aggregate; and (d) separating the magnetizable aggregate from the product mixture with a magnetic separation device, wherein the magnetizable support is present in the form of a particulate magnetizable support, wherein the particulate magnetizable support has a core and is constructed from a solid foam having a continuous phase which surrounds pores of the solid foam, wherein magnetizable areas are arranged in the continuous phase, and wherein the solid foam is closed-pore at least in the core of the magnetizable support.
