<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for industrially extremely advantageously producing a ≥3C olefin, especially propylene, from ethanol, by which the ≥3C olefin, especially propylene, can be produced in high selectivity in a relatively mild reaction condition. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing the ≥3C olefin from ethanol in the presence of a catalyst is characterized by using a catalyst containing a rare-earth metal and zeolite as a catalyst. A zeolite analogue is H-ZSM-5 type zeolite having a low silica/alumina ratio. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
