Water pollution is an environmental issue of world-wide focus.Removal of contaminants from water is a very important research area.Aniline is an important material in organic industry,which is very poisonous not only to human body but also to animals and microorganisms.The waste water containing aniline has become the key treatment target of each country all over the world.The current methods for the treatment of such organic liquid involve adsorbents,polymeric solidifiers,chemical dispersants,and microbials.However,each approach has its own limitation in practice,such as complicated and expensive post-treatment process,toxicity to ecology,difficulty in recovery.So the development of eco-friend,easy-to-operate,low-cost,easy recovered material for the purification of aniline-containing water become in great demand.Phase-selective gelators (PSGs) that prefer to gelate one solvent rather than gel the other in a given biphasic mixture,have been actively studied on water purification and the oil spill recovery from water.However,to the best of our knowledge,phase-selective organogelators which can remove either organic-layer or water-dissolved aniline from an aniline/water mixture are rarely reported.
