Abstract: Polytetrahydrofuran, polytetrahydrofuran copolymers, diesters or monoesters of these polymers are prepared by polymerization of tetrahydrofuran in the presence of at least one telogen and/or comonomer, which is in the form of shaped catalyst bodies or catalyst particles having a volume of the individual shape of the body or particle of at least 0.05 mm3, preferably at least 0.2 mm3, in particular 1 mm3, and has at least one of the features a) and b): a) a pore radius distribution having at least one maximum in the pore radius range from 100 to 5000 ?, b) a pore volume of catalyst pores having radii of 200–3000 ? of greater than 0.05 cm3/g and/or a pore volume of pores having radii of 200–5000 ? of greater than 0.075 cm3/g and/or a pore volume of pores having radii of >200 ? of greater than 0.1 cm3/g.

Abstract: A process for regenerating spent multimetal oxide oxidation catalysts from the catalytic gas-phase oxidation of lower organic compounds and which, in fresh form, contain as basic constituents the elements Mo, W, V and Cu in oxidic form, by the action of oxidizing agents or means and solubilizing, aqueous ammonia to which acetic acid and/or the ammonium salt thereof has been added, with subsequent drying and calcination, comprises quantitatively determining the content of metallic constituents during the process and making this content up to the respective original value.

Abstract: A solvent-free curable composition has a long shelf life and consists ofA 100 parts by weight of an epoxy resin andB from 10 to 100 parts by weight of, as a curing agent for the epoxy resin, an aromatic diamine containing ##STR1## groups, with or without C from 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of an accelerator, the curing agent for the epoxy resin being finely dispersed in the latter and preferably having a particle size of less than 10 .mu.m. The preferred epoxy resin curing agent is 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ketone. The curable composition is used in particular for the preparation of fiber-reinforced materials.
