Popis: | The adsorption of sulfur dioxide (SO $$_{2}$$ ), nitrogen (N $$_{2}$$ ) and mixtures of both on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene was studied by molecular dynamic simulation. Experimental results from gravimetric adsorption of SO $$_{2}$$ and N $$_{2}$$ on CNTs are compared to simulated data. CNTs with a rigid and a flexible model and the diameters 1.48 and 2.69 nm were simulated. For graphene, SO $$_{2}$$ and N $$_{2}$$ rigid models were applied. Besides the CNT diameters, different system temperatures, compositions of SO $$_{2}$$ /N $$_{2}$$ mixtures were considered for selected cases of CNTs and graphene. By examining the local SO $$_{2}$$ and N $$_{2}$$ densities on the CNTs and graphene, adsorption could be observed. SO $$_{2}$$ shows an enhanced adsorption compared to N $$_{2}$$ on both CNTs and graphene. By varying the starting configurations of the simulation, different system pressures could be achieved, which allowed the determination of adsorption isotherms at different temperatures. |
