Abstract: The present invention provides grease a compositions having excellent properties which comprises base oil consisting of specified amounts of a chain hydrocarbon oligomer and the addition polymerization oligomer of alkylene oxide and polyvalent alcohol and the defined amounts of specific additives, such as lithium salt of higher fatty acid, quaternary ammonium salt-containing clay mineral, polar solvents and the like. The grease composition can be applied effectively, for example, on the plastic parts of automobiles, plastic parts of sound apparatus, sliding contact switches and the like.

Abstract: Dienes and/or acetylene impurities in an olefin feed; in particular a propylene feed, may be selectively hydrogenated in a single stage by use of a catalyst of palladium supported on alumina which is substantially crystalline alpha alumina, wherein the average pore radius is 200-2000 .ANG., with at least 80% of the pores having a pore radius within the range of 100 to 3000 .ANG.. The surface acidity of the catalyst is generally from 0.002 to 0.05 millimole of pyridine absorbed per gram of catalyst. The active palladium surface area is from 20 to 200 m.sup.2 /g. The palladium is in the form of crystallines having an average size of at least 25 .ANG..
