The effect of different preparation parameters (pyrolysis temperature, process time, benzene concentration and residence time) on the properties of carbon molecular sieves obtained by pyrolytic carbon deposition from benzene on a microporous activated carbon, has been studied. For a fixed process time of 2 h, the increase of the pyrolysis temperature from 525 to 700∘C produced a strong increase of the CO2/CH4 selectivity, reaching a maximum value of 13 for pyrolysis at 700∘C. Selectivity also increased with process time (up to 5 h, with the pyrolysis temperature fixed at 650 and 675∘C), yielding values as high as 28. The obtained results have allowed to find the optimal preparation parameters for the preparation of CMS with high selectivity.
