An ultrathin high permselectivity carbon molecular sieve membrane (CMSM) for industrial gas separations is provided. The CMSM includes porous metal or ceramic supports to provide superior stability at high temperatures, pressures and chemical environments. The CMSM also offers the potential for cost-effective gas processing while overcoming disadvantages found in alternative media that are fragile and susceptible to shock due to thermal cycling and prone to end-sealing problems under industrial conditions.
