Abstract

Process for preparing carbon-containing molecular sieves adapted for separating small molecular gases, in particular oxygen, from nitrogen, which comprises treating coke having a content of volatile components of up to 5% at 600.degree. - 900.degree.C with a hydrocabon which splits off carbon whereby the split-off carbon is deposited in the carbon framework of the coke thereby narrowing the existing pores.
