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 study of membrane processes, the book discusses future research directions and prospective development in that field. A guideline is provided for 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 membrane is provided. Design and construction of carbon membrane modules are also described in detail.
