Gas permeation properties and characterization of mitrimid based carbon tubular membrane

Carbon membranes offer high potential in gas separation industry due to its highly selective. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of carbonization parameter such as polymer composition, carbonization temperature, and carbonization environment on the gas separation properties.
