This book provides a significant overview of carbon-related membranes. It will cover the development of carbon related membranes and membrane modules from its onset to the latest research on carbon mixed matrix membranes. After reviewing progress in the field, the authors indicate future research directions and prospective development. The authors also attempt to provide a guideline for the readers who would like to establish their own laboratories for carbon membrane research. For this purpose, detailed information on preparation, characterization and testing of various types of carbon...

This book describes the tremendous progress that has been made in gas membrane separation based both on inorganic and polymeric materials. Materials discussed include polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon molecular sieves, DDR zeolites, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), and the NOTT201and NOTT220 membranes as well as other novel materials. This broad survey of gas membranes covers material, theory, modeling, preparation, characterization ( for example, by AFM, IR, X-ray diffraction, Electron spin resonance, Positron annihilation spectroscopy), tailoring of...
