Membrane reactor research has been focused on new membrane materials to be integrated in a compact configuration. Carbon membranes have scarcely been explored in the past because of mechanical drawbacks. For this reason, it is recommended that carbon membranes are supported. However, this can cause the formation of defects which are disadvantageous in membrane reactor (MR) applications. This chapter explores the main variables to be considered in the development of carbon membranes, mainly focusing on when the carbon material has to be supported. Some applications are revised for macro and micro reactors.

Abstract
Membrane reactor research has been focused on new membrane materials to be integrated in a compact configuration. Carbon membranes have scarcely been explored in the past because of mechanical drawbacks. For this reason, it is recommended that carbon membranes are supported. However, this can cause the formation of defects which are disadvantageous in membrane reactor (MR) applications. This chapter explores the main variables to be considered in the development of carbon membranes, mainly focusing on when the carbon material has to be supported. Some applications are revised for macro and micro reactors.File in questo prodotto:
