The invention relates to hydrocarbon feedstock processing technology, in particular, to catalysts and technology for aromatization of C.sub.3-C.sub.4 hydrocarbon gases, light low-octane hydrocarbon fractions and oxygen-containing compounds (C.sub.1-C.sub.3 aliphatic alcohols), as well as mixtures thereof resulting in producing an aromatic hydrocarbon concentrate (AHCC). The catalyst comprises a mechanical mixture of 2 zeolites, one of which is characterized by the silica/alumina ratio SiO.sub.2/Al.sub.2O.sub.3=20, pre-treated with an aqueous alkali solution and modified with oxides of rare-earth elements used in the amount from 0.5 to 2.0 wt % based on the weight of the first zeolite. The second zeolite is characterized by the silica/alumina ratio SiO.sub.2/Al.sub.2O.sub.3=82, comprises sodium oxide residual amounts of 0.04 wt % based on the weight of the second zeolite, and is modified with magnesium oxide in the amount from 0.5 to 5.0 wt % based on the weight of the second zeolite. Furthermore, the zeolites are used in the weight ratio from 1.7:1 to 2.8:1, wherein a binder comprises at least silicon oxide and is used in the amount from 20 to 25 wt % based on the weight of the catalyst. The process is carried out using the proposed catalyst in an isothermal reactor without recirculation of gases from a separation stage, by contacting a fixed catalyst bed with a gaseous feedstock, which was evaporated and heated in a preheater. The technical result consists in achieving a higher aromatic hydrocarbon yield while ensuring almost complete conversion of the HC feedstock and oxygenates, an increased selectivity with respect to forming xylols as part of an AHCC, while simultaneously simplifying the technological setup of the process by virtue of using a reduced (inter alia, atmospheric) pressure.
