Abstract
Disclosed herein are aspects of a method for converting an oxygenate feedstock into an olefin-rich product. In some aspects, the method comprises exposing an oxygenate feedstock to a tantalum catalyst composition to form an olefin-rich product. In some aspects, the tantalum catalyst composition comprises tantalum and a support comprising (i) aluminum and/or silicon, and (ii) oxygen.

A method, comprising:
- exposing an oxygenate feedstock to a tantalum catalyst composition to form an olefin-rich product, the tantalum catalyst composition comprising a support comprising (i) aluminum and/or silicon, and (ii) oxygen.
A method of making a tantalum catalyst composition for converting an oxygenate feedstock into an olefin-rich product, the method comprising impregnating a support comprising (i) aluminum and/or silicon, and (ii) oxygen, with a tantalum precursor to form a catalyst precursor.
A tantalum catalyst composition for converting an oxygenate feedstock into an olefin-rich product, the tantalum catalyst composition comprising:
- a tantalum oxide in an amount ranging from 1% to 50% based on total weight of the tantalum catalyst composition;
- and
- a support comprising aluminum and/or silicon.
