摘要
The air separation properties of zeolite types A, X, and Y have been studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon adsorbed in these zeolite lattices. Nitrogen is adsorbed preferentially due to the quadrupole-ion electrostatic interactions with the extra framework cations. The localization of adsorption sites for nitrogen near cations and the more diffuse distributions of oxygen and argon within zeolite cavities are clearly illustrated. Predicted nitrogen/oxygen selectivity for 5A from simulations is in good agreement with that determined experimentally. The effect of the calcium-sodium ion exchange on the predicted nitrogen/oxygen selectivity is examined, and is shown to be sensitive to the magnitude of the charges assigned to the extra framework cations.
