Abstract

A process for converting an oxygenate feed to high purity olefins such as polymer-grade propylene (C.sub.3.sup.0 /C.sub.3.sup.= .ltoreq.0.05) at a temperature of about 450.degree. C. (842.degree. F.), using a molecular sieve catalyst having a high preselected Si/Al.sub.2 ratio (such as ZSM-5, ZSM-48) or a preselected Si/Fe.sub.2 ratio (such as FeZSM-5), or SAPO-34.
