The selectivity of methanol-to-hydrocarbons conversion was changed by manipulating the identity of the hydrocarbon pool through co-feeding olefin and aromatic compounds. Increasing the ratio of propene to toluene co-feed under iso-conversion conditions at 548 K resulted in a four-fold increase in selectivity to C4-C8 aliphatic hydrocarbons.
