Process for producing aromatic compounds of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX), comprising a step of contacting an oxygen-containing raw material with an aromatization catalyst, under aromatization reaction conditions, to produce aromatic compounds, in which the oxygen-containing feedstock has the structural formula (I): **(See formula)** in formula (I), R1 is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted C1-8 straight or branched alkyl, R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and optionally substituted C1-10 straight or branched alkyl, n is a positive integer from 1 to 6 wherein the phrase "optionally substituted" denotes that it is optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of C1-6 linear or branched alkyl optionally substituted with one or more carboxyl or hydroxyl, C2-6 linear or branched alkenyl optionally substituted with one or more carboxyl or h hydroxyl, C2-6 linear or branched alkynyl optionally substituted with one or more carboxyl or hydroxyl, C3-10 cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one or more carboxyl or hydroxyl, C6-10 aryl optionally substituted with one or more carboxyl or hydroxyl, carboxyl and hydroxyl , wherein the aromatization catalyst is one or more selected from the group consisting of molecular sieve, solid superacid, and compound metal oxide, wherein the molecular sieve is ZSM-type molecular sieve which is M/ZSM-5 molecular sieve, wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Zn, Ga, Sn, or a combination thereof, and wherein the compound metal oxide is an oxide compound of oxide C of a metal element of group IVB of the periodic table of elements and one or more oxides D selected from the group consisting of group IIIA metal element oxide, group VII metal element oxide, group VIB metal element oxide, and lanthanum metal element gone from the periodic table of elements. |
