Metathesis catalyst and process for producing an olefin using the same

摘要

A novel olefin production process for forming at least one olefin from two or more olefins in the presence of a catalyst containing at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel, aluminum, manganese, iron and copper which is supported by a regular mesoporous material. In the above olefin production process, propylene can be formed from ethylene and butene. In the above olefin production process, water vapor can be contained in a reaction gas in a molar ratio based on the total of the raw material olefins of 0.001 to 1.
