Abstract: A process and plant for producing an olefin stream, comprising passing a feedstock stream comprising oxygenates over a catalyst thereby forming an olefin stream; using a first reactor set including a single reactor or several reactors for the partial or full conversion of the oxygenates; and in series arrangement with the first reactor set, using a second reactor set including a single reactor or several reactors, for the further conversion of the oxygenates, and a phase separation stage in between the first reactor set and the second reactor set, for thereby forming the olefin stream.

Abstract: A process for producing an olefin stream, said process comprising passing a feedstock stream comprising oxygenates over catalyst comprises a zeolite with a framework having a 10-ring pore structure, in which said 10-ring pore structure comprises a unidimensional (1-D) pore structure, such as *MRE, at a pressure of 1-25 bar and a temperature of 240-360° C. The olefin stream may be converted to jet fuel, particularly sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by further oligomerization and hydrogenation.

Abstract: A process and plant for producing hydrocarbons boiling in the jet fuel range, comprising the steps: optionally passing a feedstock stream comprising oxygenates over a catalyst thereby forming an olefin stream; passing the olefin stream trough a combined oligomerization and hydrogenation step thereby producing a hydrocarbon stream comprising said hydrocarbons boiling in the jet fuel range.

Abstract: In a process for the oxidation of a lower alkene, such as ethylene, over a catalyst containing Cu and one or more zeolite or zeotype materials, the oxidation is conducted in the presence of ammonia in the feed gas at a process temperature below 350° C.

Abstract: A catalyst for the conversion of oxygenates, such as alcohols or ethers, to olefins consists essentially of a selected SUZ-4 zeolite that has a Si/Al ratio of at least 20, preferably between 20 and 500, especially between 20 and 100. The basic SUZ-4 zeolite is prepared in a manner known per se, whereafter the Si/Al ratio is increased to the desired value. The selected SUZ-4 zeolite catalyst of the invention has a longer life time and a better product selectivity than the conventional/standard SUZ-4 zeolite catalysts.
