1. A method of converting a mixture of oxygenates to aromatic hydrocarbons, the method comprising: providing a first oxygenate, the first oxygenate comprising a C1-C6 alkanol;providing a second oxygenate, the second oxygenate comprising a carboxylic acid, an aldehyde, an ester, or any combination thereof, wherein the second oxygenate has a hydrogen to carbon effective ratio of less than 1.6;producing a mixture of oxygenates, the mixture of oxygenates comprising at least the first oxygenate and the second oxygenate, wherein the mixture of oxygenates has a total hydrogen to carbon effective ratio of between 1.2 and 1.6; andexposing the mixture of oxygenates to an oxygenate conversion catalyst at an oxygenate conversion temperature and an oxygenate conversion pressure to produce aromatic hydrocarbons. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second oxygenate is produced by dehydrogenation of a portion of the first oxygenate. 3. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising: separating the first oxygenate to form a first portion of the first oxygenate and a second portion of the first oxygenate; andexposing the first portion of the first oxygenate to a dehydrogenation catalyst at an effective temperature and an effective pressure to produce the second oxygenate,wherein the mixture of oxygenates is produced by mixing the second portion of the first oxygenate and the second oxygenate. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of oxygenate components comprises the carboxylic acid and wherein the carboxylic acid has a hydrogen to carbon effective ratio less than 1.6. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the carboxylic acid is acetic acid. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of oxygenate components comprises the ester and wherein the ester has a hydrogen to carbon effective ratio less than 1.6. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein ester is ethyl acetate. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of oxygenate components comprises the aldehyde and wherein aldehyde has a hydrogen to carbon effective ratio is less than 1.6. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the aldehyde is acetaladehyde. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of oxygenate components comprises the carboxylic acid, the aldehyde, and the ester and wherein the carboxylic acid, the aldehyde, and the ester have a hydrogen to carbon effective ratio of less than 1.6. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the carboxylic acid comprises acetic acid, the aldehyde comprises acetaladehyde, and the ester comprises ethyl acetate. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of oxygenates further comprises a ketone, an ether, or combinations thereof. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the C1-C6 alkanol comprises two or more C1-C6 alkanols. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the C1-C6 alkanol comprises methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, or combinations thereof. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the C1-C6 alkanol comprises ethanol. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the total hydrogen to carbon effective ratio is less than 1.5. 17. The method of claim 3, wherein the dehydrogenation catalyst comprises: (i) a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ru, Ag, CuCr, CuZn, Co, Raney copper, copper-zinc-aluminate, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof; and/or(ii) a support selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, silica-alumina, titania, carbon, zirconia, zinc aluminate, and mixtures thereof. 18. The method of claim 3, wherein: (i) the dehydrogenation temperature is between about 80° C. and 500° C.; and/or(ii) the dehydrogenation pressure ranges from below atmospheric pressure to about 1000 psig. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the oxygenate conversion catalyst comprises a zeolite. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the oxygenate conversion catalyst: (i) is ZSM-5;(ii) is modified by a material selected from the group consisting of phosphorous, gallium, zinc, nickel, tungsten, and mixtures thereof; and/or(iii) contains a binder selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, silica-alumina, titania, zirconia, aluminum phosphate, and mixtures thereof. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein: (i) the oxygenate conversion temperature is between about 250° C. and 550° C.; and/or(ii) the oxygenate conversion pressure ranges from less than atmospheric pressure to about 1000 psig.
