Catalytic conversion of alcohols and/or ethers to olefins

A process for converting alcohols and/or ethers to olefins, said process comprising:

• contacting a feed comprising one or more alcohols and/or one or more ethers with a conversion catalyst in a reaction zone at a temperature from about 200° C. to about 550° C. under conditions effective to produce an olefin-containing effluent,
• wherein the olefin-containing effluent comprises 10 wt. % or more of olefins and 60 wt. % or less of aromatics relative to a weight of hydrocarbons in the olefin-containing effluent, and
• wherein the conversion catalyst comprises a self-bound zeolite including a transition metal yielding a selectivity of about 35% or greater C3+ olefins between 250° C. and 450° C.
