Abstract (EN): Industrial use of membranes for gas separation has been increasing over the past two decades. The most common gas separations are oxygen enrichment from air, carbon dioxide separation and hydrogen purification. Membranes for gas separation can have various natures, namely polymer, ceramic (e.g. zeolite), metallic, carbon or mixed matrix. For their development and application it is necessary to characterize these membranes according to their surface and inner morphologies, surface chemistry, mass transport parameters and mechanical and chemical stability. This chapter presents the most common characterization techniques of polymer, ceramic, metal and carbon membranes, with regard to morphology and mass transport parameters. It also provides some phenomenological models normally used to describe the permeating mass transport.
