Abstract
A catalytically hydrogenated naphtha stream containing less than 10 ppm by weight of sulfur is pyrolyzed without added hydrogen to a product including ethylene. Selectivity to ethylene is increased by adding a sulfur compound to increase the sulfur content to above 20 ppm by weight based on hydrogenated naphtha. Addition of the sulfur compound increases the quality of hydrogenated naphtha as a pyrolysis feedstock nearly to that of a C.sub.2 to C.sub.5 paraffin stream.
