Magnetically separable layered double hydroxide MgAl–LDH@Fe3O4 composite supported cobaltphthalocyanine catalyst was synthesized and used for the aerobic oxidation of mercaptans to correspondingdisulfides under alkali free conditions. The catalyst exhibited excellent activity for the oxidation ofmercaptans using molecular oxygen as an oxidant which can be effectively recovered by using an externalmagnetic field. In addition, the covalent immobilization of cobalt phthalocyanine to
