The present invention relates to a process for preparing a molding comprising a zeolitic material and one or more oxidic binders, the process particularly comprising preparing a mixture of a zeolitic material, such as Mg-ZSM-5, a source of an oxidic binder, and a first plasticizer; admixing an acid to said mixture; and shaping of the mixture, to obtain a precursor of a molding; wherein in said mixture a specific weight ratio of the source of the oxidic binder to the sum of the zeolitic material and the source of the oxidic binder is applied. Further, the present invention relates to a molding obtainable or obtained by the inventive process, and to a molding itself displaying in particular a comparatively improved crush strength. Yet further, the present invention relates to a method for the conversion of oxygenates to olefins and to a use of the inventive molding.

The invention is concerned with the production of 1-hexene and octenes from ethene. 1-Butene is optionally also to be produced. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of developing a process for producing 1-hexene from ethene by MTHxE etherification to achieve better chemical utilization of the employed carbon atoms. This problem is solved by catalytic retrocleavage of MTHxE into the C.sub.6 olefins and the alcohol, reuse of the alcohol in the etherification and reaction of the obtained C.sub.6 olefins with ethene to afford C.sub.8 olefins. In this way the alcohol is not lost from the process but rather is internally recirculated as a derivatizing agent. The less attractive C.sub.6 olefins from the cleavage product are upgraded to octene with further ethene in order to provide a further commercial product.
