We prepared water-based magnetic fluids with the spent iron oxide catalysts which were used in the styrene monomer production process. The catalyst was composed with 70% magnetite and alkali metals. The water-based magnetic fluids were prepared by mechanical grinding with olecic acid as a surfactant and water in an attritor. The magnetization of the water-based magnetic fluids was 22 emu/g in the 10 kOe.
