The selective surface flow membrane is a nanoporous carbon membrane which separates gas mixtures by a selective adsorption-surface diffusion-desorption mechanism. It selectively permeates the larger and the more polar components of a feed gas mixture. The separation characteristics of several different gas mixtures by the membrane are described. The membrane has been field-tested at a refinery site for separation of hydrocarbon-hydrogen mixtures.
