Processes for converting one or more C1-C5 linear or branched alcohols to one or more C2-C5 olefins are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the process can be a single stage process for the direct conversion of C1-C5 alcohols to olefinic mixtures (e.g., C2-C5) carried out in a reactor using a catalyst that includes zeolite doped with boron and phosphor. Systems for carrying out these processes are also provided.
