BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 15 [0008] (Catalyst for Production of Monocyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon) The catalyst for production of monocyclie aromatic`h rocarbons according this embodiment (hereinafter, abbreviated as "catalyst") is used for producing monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 to 8 (hereinafter, 20 abbreviated as "monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons") from feedstock containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons, and contains crystalline aluminosilicate. [0009] (Crystalline Aluminosilicate) 25 In this embodiment, the crystalline aluminosilicate contains large-pore zeolite 6. having a 12-membered ring structure, and intermediate-pore zeolite having a 10-membered ring structure. As the large-pore zeolite having a 12-membered ring structure, for example, zeolites having a framework type of an AFT type, an ATO type, a BEA type, a CON type, 5 an FAU type, a GME type, an LTL type, an MOR type, an MTW type, and an OFF type is preferably exemplified. Among these, the BEA type, the FAU type, and the MOR type are preferable from an industrially usable aspect, and the BEA type is more preferable because the yield of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 to 8 is relatively raised. 10 As the intermediate-pore zeolite having a 10-membered ring structure, for example, zeolites having a framework type of an AEL type, an EUO type, an FER type, an HEU type, an MEL type, an MFI type, an NES type, a TON type, and a WEI type is preferably exemplified. Among these, the MFI type is preferable because the yield of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 to 8 is relatively 15 raised. In addition, all of the framework type types of the zeolite , which are exemplified in this- embodiment are structure codes based on thezlefinitior ofthu-lnWrnational Zeolite Association. [0010] 20 In addition to the large -pore zeolite, the crystalline aluminosilicate may contain small-pore zeolite having a stricture of a 10-membered ring or less, and ultra-large-pore zeolite having a structure of a 14-membered ring or more. Here, as the small-pore zeolite, for example, zeolites having a framework type of an ANA type, a CHA type, an ERI type, a GIS type, a KFI type, an LTA type, an NAT 25 type, a PAU type, and a YUG type is preferably exemplified. 7 As the ultra-large-pore zeolite, for example, zeolites having a framework type of a CLO type, and a VPI type is preferably exemplified. [0011] In a case where the catalyst is used as a catalyst for a fixed bed, the content of 5 the crystalline aluminosilicate is preferably 60 to 100 % by mass on the basis of 100 % by mass of the entirety of the catalyst, and more preferably 70 to 100 % by mass, and still more preferably 90 to 100 % by mass. When the content of the crystalline aluminosilicate is 60 % by mass or more, the total yield of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 to 8 and the aliphatic hydrocarbons having a 10 carbon number of 3 to 4 is sufficiently raised. In a case where the catalyst is used as a catalyst for a fluidized bed, the content of the crystalline aluminosilicate is preferably 20 to 60 % by mass on the basis of 100 % by mass of the entirety of the catalyst, and more preferably 30 to 60 % by mass, and still more preferably 35 to 60 % by mass. When the content of the crystalline 15 aluminosilicate is 20% by mass or more, the total yield of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 to 8 and the aliphatic hydrocarbons having a carbon-number-of 3 to 4 is sufficiently raised. When-the content of the--crystalline aluminosilicate exceeds 60 % by mass, the content of a binder that may be mixed with the catalyst becomes small, and thus may be not appropriate as the catalyst for the 20 fluidized bed. [0012] In the crystalline aluminosilicate, a mass ratio of the large-pore zeolite to the intermediate-pore zeolite (large-pore zeolite/intermediate-pore zeolite) is preferably 2/98 to 50/50, more preferably 5/95 to 50/50, still more preferably 10/90 to 30/70. When the 25 mass ratio is 2/98 or more, an effect of using the large-pore zeolite is sufficiently 8 exhibited, and thus the yield of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is sufficiently raised. When the mass ratio is 50/50 or less, coking of the feedstock is prevented, and thus the yield of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is sufficiently raised. [0013] 5 (Other Components) The catalyst may contain gallium and/or zinc as necessary. When gallium and/or zinc are contained, a generation ratio of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons haying a carbon number of 6 to 8 tends to be increased. [0014] 10 As a method used to incorporate gallium into the catalyst, a type in which gallium is incorporated in a lattice framework of the crystalline aluminosilicate (crystalline aluminogallosilicate), a type in which gallium is carried by the crystalline aluminosilicate (gallium-supporting crystalline aluminosilicate), and a type including both of these types is exemplified. 15 As a method used to incorporate zinc into the catalyst, a type in which zinc is incorporated in a lattice framework of the crystalline aluminosilicate (crystalline aluminozincosilicate), a typeinwhich zinc is carried-bythe crystalline aluminosilicate (zinc-supporting crystalline aluminosilicate), and a type including both of these types is exemplified. 20 The crystalline aluminogallosilicate and the crystalline aluminozincosilicate have a structure in which SiO4 , A1O4, and GaO4/ZnO4 structures have a tetrahedral coordination in a framework. In addition, the crystalline aluminogallosilicate and the crystalline aluminozincosilicate may be obtained , for example, by gel crystallization through hydrothermal synthesis , by a method in which gallium or zinc is inserted into the 25 lattice framework of the crystalline aluminosilicate, or by a method in which aluminum is 9 inserted into the lattice framework of crystalline gallosilicate or crystalline zincosilicate. The gallium-supporting crystalline aluminosilicate may be obtained by supporting gallium on a crystalline aluminosilicate using a conventional method such as an ion-exchange method or impregnation method. There are no particular limitations 5 on the gallium source used in these methods, and examples include gallium salts such as gallium nitrate and gallium chloride, and gallium oxide. The zinc-supporting crystalline aluminosilicate may be obtained by supporting zinc on a crystalline aluminosilicate using a known method such as an ion-exchange method or impregnation method. There are no particular limitations on the zinc source 10 used in these methods, and examples include zinc salts such as zinc nitrate and zinc chloride, and zinc oxide. [0015] In a case where the catalyst contains gallium and/or zinc, the lower limit of the content of gallium and/or zinc is preferably 0.01 % by mass or more on the basis of 15 100 % by mass of the total mass of the crystalline aluminosilicate, and more prefer
