Abstract
A process for reforming a full boiling range naptha feed to enhance benzene yield is disclosed which first separates the feed into a C.sub.6 fraction containing at least 10% by volume of C.sub.7 + hydrocarbons and a C.sub.7 + fraction, then subjecting the C.sub.6 fraction to a catalytic aromatization process and subjecting the C.sub.7 + fraction to a catalytic reforming process, followed by recovering the aromatics produced.
