Abstract: The invention relates to a catalyst composition, a method of making the same and its use in the conversion of a feedstock, preferably an oxygenated feedstock, into one or more olefin(s), preferably ethylene and/or propylene The catalyst composition comprises a molecular sieve and at least one metal oxide, such as a magnesium oxide that, when saturated with acetone and contacted with said acetone for 1 hour at 25° C., converts more than 80% of the acetone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conversion process of a feedstock, preferably an oxygenated feedstock, into one or more olefin(s), preferably ethylene and/or propylene, in the presence of a molecular sieve catalyst composition that includes a molecular sieve and a Group 3 metal oxide and/or an oxide of a Lanthanide or Actinide series element. The invention is also directed to methods of making and formulating the molecular sieve catalyst composition useful in a conversion process of a feedstock into one or more olefin(s).

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for removing an oxygenate impurity selected from aldehyde and/or ketone, from an olefinic product stream. A product stream is contacted with a metal oxide-containing catalyst in the presence of a C1 to C6 alcohol under conditions sufficient to convert the oxygenate impurity to an olefin and/or oxygenate of higher carbon number than the aldehyde and/or ketone. The aldehyde can be C2 to C5 aldehyde and the ketone can be C3 to C6 ketone. The metal oxide-containing catalyst typically comprises an oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group 2 metals, Group 3 metals (including Lanthanide and Actinide series metals), and Group 4 metals.

Abstract: A method for making an organometallic treated molecular sieve is described in which a molecular sieve having at least one hydroxyl group and at least [AlO2] and [PO2] tetrahedral units and having an average pore dimension less than or equal to about 5 ? is contacted with a solution comprising an organometallic compound and a non-proton donating solvent. The resulting organometallic treated molecular sieve has enhanced ethylene and/or propylene selectivity when used in the conversion of organic oxygenates to olefins. The ethylene and/or propylene selectivity, as well as catalyst life, are further enhanced when the resulting organometallic treated molecular sieve is combined with an oxide of at least one metal selected from Groups 2, 3 and Group 4 of the Periodic Table.
