Abstract
This proposed PhD project focuses on addressing the fundamental mechanism of carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption within activated carbon (AC), which plays an important role in natural gas separation. A systematic study of CO2 adsorption was conducted with AC, which was constructed with representative pore models. The effects of temperature, CO2 potential models and geometrical properties, and presence of other gas components (in natural gas) on the adsorption behaviours were studied via Monte Carlo simulation.
