Abstract
The adsorption of methane in K+ ion exchanged zeolite L has been studied using grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. Average number of molecules per unit cell, number density of molecules in zeolite, distribution of molecules per unit cell, average potential per sorbate molecule, and isosteric heats of adsorption were calculated, and these results were compared with experimental results. The simulation results agreed fairly well with experimental ones. All methane molecules were located in the main channel, and the average potential of sorbate molecule was almost constant regardless of average number of molecules per unit cell and the amounts sorbed in zeolite.
