The carbon materials attract the increasing interest of membrane scientists because of their high selectivity and permeability, high hydrophobicity and stability in corrosive and high-temperature operations. Recently many papers were published considering last achievements in the field of carbon membranes for gas separation [2-5]. In particular, such membranes can be produced by pyrolyzing a polymeric precursor in a controlled condition. The one of most usable polymer for this goal is polyacrylonitrile (PAN) [6], Some types of carbon membranes were obtained as a thin film on a porous material by the carbonization of polymeric predecessors [7]. Publications about carbon membrane catalysts are not found up to now.

Recently activated carbons such as activated carbon fibers (ACFs) and superhigh surface area carbons have been developed. New activated carbons have more uniform micropore size distribution and greater surface area than traditional activated carbons. The carbon membranes for gas separation have been also developed lately[8]. The activation of the polyamide film leads to self-supported activated carbon film whose surface area is larger than 1100 m /g [9]. Thus various kinds of carbon adsorbents have been developed to find new applications. Scientific studies on activated carbon have been increasing according to development of these new carbon adsorbents with a special relevance to energy and environmental demands. In particular, controll of an adsorptive ability of activated carbon is requisite for new application. Consequently, basic principles for control of the micropore filling mechanism of activated carbons are shown here.
