The Impact of Pore Size on Methane and CO2 Adsorption in Carbon

0.1 µm) cleats ( ~ 0.1 µm- 2 mm) An example of pore size distribution in coal The simulation considers a box containing two walls of carbon (representing a slit pore) with the space between the walls representing the pore A Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) algorithm is used, which randomly considers as many as 108 configurations of the gas molecules in the system, looking for the lowest energy state, which corresponds to expected natural behavior The energy state for the system is calculated using the Lennard-Jones parameters for the molecules in the system These parameters define the attractive force between molecules at a distance as well as the repulsive force seen when molecules are very close togethe
