An aluminophosphate bound silicoaluminophosphate catalyst contains iron, cobalt and/or nickel is useful in a method of making a product including an olefin from a feedstock containing an oxygenate. The method includes contacting an oxygenate feedstock with the catalyst, which is an aluminophosphate bound silicoaluminophosphate catalyst containing iron, cobalt and/or nickel and which does not contain a significant amount of amorphous binder, in its activated state under conditions effective to produce an olefin product. |
