Popis: Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) molecular simulation is used to study the adsorption of argon in model buckytubes and an equimolar argon/nitrogen mixture in a model MCM-41 pore. The critical buckytube pore diameter above which argon exhibits first-order condensation at 77 K is determined to be between 1.5 nm and 2.0 nm. At pressures below 0.0002 atm, nitrogen is selectively adsorbed into a 1.9 nm diameter MCM-41 pore at 77 K. At higher pressures an interesting reversal of selectivity is demonstrated and argon is preferentially adsorbed.
