Methanol feed for producing olefin streams

摘要

This invention provides a methanol composition, a method of making the composition, and a method of using the composition. The methanol composition of this invention is supplemented with certain additional alcohols and/or aldehydes, and serves as a particularly desirable feed stream for use in the manufacture of olefins such as ethylene and propylene. Such feed streams result in increased production of ethylene or in the increased production of both ethylene and propylene.
