Abstract: Due to the important application value and broad market prospect of aromatic hydrocarbons, the research progress on the production of aromatics from catalytic conversion of biomass was reviewed. The effects of feedstock, model compound, zeolite microporous molecular sieve catalyst, mesoporous molecular sieve catalyst and impregnation modification of catalyst as well as reaction condition on reaction selectivity and yield for the formation of aromatics hydrocarbons were summarized in detail. The reaction mechanism were further discussed. This review might provide a new direction for the total components and high value utilization of biomass.
