Reactivation or regeneration of cobalt preformer catalyst for oxo process
 Noble metal or other preformer catalysts used to convert cobalt salts to hydrido cobalt carbonyl for use in the oxonation of olefins are reactivated or regenerated by treatment with a mixture of an aqueous organic acid solution and an alcohol at a temperature of about 120.degree. C. to 170.degree. C. and a pressure of about 13.78 MPa to 31.00 MPa for about 2 to 50 hours.
