Carbon membranes are a type of inorganic membranes in which the active separation layer consists of carbon or carbides. Carbon membranes have excellent performances for gas and vapor separation due to the molecular sieve effect. Carbon membranes can be applied to the separation of corrosive gases and organic solvents by taking advantage of the chemical resistance of carbon. This article summarizes recent researches and developments of carbon molecular sieve membranes in the field of membrane reactors.
