PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously obtain an aromatic compound useful as a chemical material and hydrogen gas in high yield by reacting a lower hydrocarbon in the coexistence of carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide in the presence of a catalyst. SOLUTION: This aromatic compound (e.g. benzene, naphthalene) including an aromatic hydrocarbon as the main component and hydrogen is obtained by reacting (C) a lower hydrocarbon (e.g. ethane, ethylene) in the presence of (A) a catalyst [e.g. a catalyst consisting of molybdenum, zinc, gallium, iron and cobalt or metal compounds thereof and metallosilicate (e.g. aluminosilicate)] in the coexistence of (B) carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide. The amount of the component B to be added is preferably 0.01-30 vol.%, based on the total volume of the total material gases to be supplied for the reaction. |
