Production of olefin derivatives

摘要

A process for making polyolefin from an oxygenate. The process comprises the steps of contacting an oxygenate feed with a molecular sieve catalyst to form an olefin-containing product, wherein the olefin-containing product contains less than 10 ppm wt. of a contaminant selected from hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and arsine; separating olefin from the olefin-containing product; contacting the separated olefin with a polyolefin forming catalyst to form a reaction stream comprising polyolefin and a vent gas, wherein the vent gas comprises unreacted olefin; and contacting at least a portion of the unreacted olefin with the polyolefin forming catalyst to form polyolefin.
