Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a catalyst based on crystalline aluminosilicates for the conversion of oxygenates to lower olefins, the catalyst having an SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 20 to 200 and being modified with 0.1% to 10% by weight of readily oxidant metal (calculated as the corresponding metal oxide) and/or with 0.05% to 5% by weight of cerium (calculated as Ce2O3), and also to an associated method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process in which a triglyceride is transesterified with an alcohol in the presence of a solid catalyst. In order to provide a process by means of which a triglyceride can be transesterified with an alcohol in the presence of a solid catalyst in relatively moderate reaction conditions with a good yield and at relatively high reaction rate, it is proposed that the solid catalyst comprises a zeolite X with an Si/Al atomic ratio of less than 1.2.
