Abstract Ethane was found stationally and selectively pyrolyzed into ethylene in first order over a pitch based carbon fiber (CF) by the contact time of 4 second at 948 to 1023 K, which was lower by 200 K than that for the convensional pyrolyses without the fiber. The selectivity tended to decrease moderately with sharp increase of the conversion at higher temperatures, being 97 to 93%, respectively, at the conversions of 2 and 33% at 948 and 1023 K, respectively.
