Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have emerged as strong contenders to conventional membranes for gas and liquid separations. Although numerous studies on filler/matrix combinations have been conducted and thoroughly reviewed, a review of activated carbon (AC) as a filler has thus far been minimal. This review intends to fill this gap via critically analyzing the state-of-the-art on AC as a filler in MMMs. Aspects of AC-MMM research, with emphasis on AC fabrication from biomass pyrolysis, AC-MMM fabrication and resulting properties, and influence of AC on MMM performance are thoroughly elucidated. Furthermore, the various applications that have been investigated with AC-MMM membranes, and several predictive models that have been specifically utilized for AC-MMMs are also discussed.

混合基质膜（MMM）已成为用于气体和液体分离的常规膜的强大竞争者。尽管已经进行了许多关于填料/基体组合的研究并进行了全面审查，但迄今为止，对作为填料的活性炭（AC）的审查很少。这篇评论旨在通过严格分析AC作为MMM中的填充剂的最新技术来填补这一空白。彻底阐明了AC-MMM研究的各个方面，重点是通过生物质热解制造AC，制造M-MMM及其所产生的特性，以及AC对MMM性能的影响。此外，还讨论了使用AC-MMM膜研究的各种应用，以及专门用于AC-MMM的几种预测模型。
