Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for preparing a sulfided hydrotreating catalyst in which a hydrotreating catalyst is subjected to a sulfidation step, wherein the hydrotreating catalyst comprises a carrier comprising at least 50 wt % of alumina, the catalyst comprising at least one hydrogenation metal component and an organic compound comprising at least one covalently bonded nitrogen atom and at least one carbonyl moiety, the molar ratio between the organic compound and the total hydrogenation metal content being at least 0.01:1. The invention further pertains to the use of said hydrotreating catalyst in hydrotreating a hydrocarbon feed, in particular to achieve hydrodenitrogenation, (deep) hydrodesulfurization, or hydrodearomatization.

Abstract: A promoted multi-metal oxide catalyst is useful for the vapor phase oxidation of an alkane, or a mixture of an alkane and an alkene, to an unsaturated carboxylic acid and for the vapor phase ammoxidation of an alkane, or a mixture of an alkane and an alkene, to an unsaturated nitrile.

Abstract: A composition which is the reaction product of (i) a material having the structure ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is an organic radical having 6 to 25 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is alkylene having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and n is 2-4 and (ii) an acidic hydrogen-containing compound. The compositions are useful as catalyst in induction curable adhesive compositions.
