Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a process for converting methyl halides to ethylene and propylene, said process comprising the steps of (a) providing a feedstream comprising methyl halides; (b) providing a first and second catalyst composition, said second catalyst composition comprising a cracking catalyst; (c) contacting said feedstream with said first catalyst composition in a first reaction zone under first reaction conditions to provide a first product stream; and (d) subjecting at least a part of said first product stream to an Olefin Catalytic Cracking with said second catalyst composition in a second reaction zone under second reaction conditions to provide a second product steam. The process is remarkable in that said step (c) is performed under 400° C., and in that said first catalyst composition comprises molecular sieves with a Si/Al atomic between 2 and 18 and with a plurality of pores with a shape of an 8-membered ring or less.
