We systematically study how the degree of framework flexibility affects the adsorption and diffusion of aromatics in MFI-type zeolites as computed by Monte Carlo simulations. It is observed that as the framework is more flexible, the zeolite structure is inherently changed. We ha

Partial molar properties are of fundamental importance for understanding properties of non-ideal mixtures. Josephson and co-workers (Mol. Phys. 2019, 117, 3589–3602) used least squares multiple linear regression to obtain partial molar properties in open constant-pressure ensembl

Adsorption of Aromatics in MFI-Type Zeolites
Experiments and Framework Flexibility in Monte Carlo Simulations
Computer simulations of adsorption of aromatics in zeolites are typically performed using rigid zeolite frameworks. However, adsorption isotherms for aromatics are very sensitive to small differences in the atomic positions of the zeolite (Chem. Phys. Lett., 1999, 308, 155-159).

Brick-CFCMC
Open Source Software for Monte Carlo Simulations of Phase and Reaction Equilibria Using the Continuous Fractional Component Method
We present a new molecular simulation code, Brick-CFCMC, for performing Monte Carlo simulations using state-of-the-art simulation techniques. The Continuous Fractional Component (CFC) method is implemented for simulations in the NVT/NPT ensembles, the Gibbs Ensemble, the Grand-Ca

We introduce an alternative method to perform free energy calculations for mixtures at multiple temperatures and pressures from a single simulation, by combining umbrella sampling and the continuous fractional component Monte Carlo method. One can perform a simulation of a mixtur

A mathematical model is used to predict adsorption isotherms from experimentally measured breakthrough curves. Using this approach, by performing only breakthrough experiments for a mixture of two (or more) components, one can obtain pure component adsorption isotherms up to the

The CFCMC simulation methodology considers an expanded ensemble to solve the problem of low insertion/deletion acceptance probabilities in open ensembles. It allows for a direct calculation of the chemical potential by binning of the coupling parameter λ and using the probabiliti

The combination of the TraPPE and OPLS/2016 force fields with five water models, TIP3P, SPC/E, OPC, TIP4P/2005 and TIP4P/EW was used to compute mixing enthalpies, excess chemical potentials and activity coefficients of water and methanol. Excess chemical potentials and activity c

For absorption refrigeration, it has been shown that ionic liquids have the potential to replace conventional working pairs. Due to the huge number of possibilities, conducting lab experiments to find the optimal ionic liquid is infeasible. Here, we provide a proof-of-principle s

Chemical potentials of coexisting gas and liquid phases for water, methanol, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide for the temperature range (Formula presented.) K to (Formula presented.) K are computed using two different methodologies: (1) Widom’s test particle insertion (WTPI)

The effect of confinement on the equilibrium reactive system containing nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide is studied by molecular simulation and the reactive Monte Carlo (RxMC) approach. The bulk-phase reaction was successfully reproduced and five all-silica zeolites (i.e

On the short term, carbon capture is a viable solution to reduce human-induced CO2 emissions, which requires an energy efficient separation of CO2. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) may offer opportunities for carbon capture and other industrially relevant sep

iRASPA
GPU-accelerated visualization software for materials scientists
A new macOS software package, iRASPA, for visualisation and editing of materials is presented. iRASPA is a document-based app that manages multiple documents with each document containing a unique set of data that is stored in a file located either in the application sandbox or i

Natural gas, synthesis gas, and flue gas typically contain a large number of impurities (e.g., acidic gases), which should be removed to avoid environmental and technological problems, and to meet customer specifications. One approach is to use physical solvents to remove the aci

A new formulation of the Reaction Ensemble Monte Carlo technique (RxMC) combined with the Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo method is presented. This method is denoted by serial Rx/CFC. The key ingredient is that fractional molecules of either reactants or reaction prod

(Graph Presented) The family of M-MOF-74, with M = Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Ti, V, and Zn, provides opportunities for numerous energy related gas separation applications. The pore structure of M-MOF-74 exhibits a high internal surface area and an exceptionally large adsorption

An increase in demand for energy efficient processes for the separation of saturated and unsaturated light hydrocarbons mixtures drives the need of noncryogenic processes. The adsorptive separation using Metal-Organic Frameworks with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites may pro

It is shown that ensemble averages computed in the Gibbs Ensemble with Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo (CFCMC GE) are different from those computed in the conventional Gibbs Ensemble (GE). However, it is possible to compute averages corresponding to the conventional G

The influence of product shape selectivity on the bifunctional conversion of n-C7 by zeolite catalysts is investigated. Three different zeolite catalysts with different pore sizes (MFI-type, MEL-type, and BEA-type zeolites) have been investigated experimentally. For al

A new formulation of the Gibbs ensemble (GE) combined with the continuous fractional component Monte Carlo method is presented. In the proposed formulation, only a single fractional molecule per component is used instead of two in the original formulation by Shi and Maginn ( J. C
