摘要
Computer simulations are a useful tool in the study of the adsorption of alkanes in zeolites, provided the zeolite-alkane interactions are described in an adequate manner. MFI-type zeolites are among the most frequently studied types of zeolite. Consequently, zeolite specific force fields are often parameterized using experimental data obtained on MFI-type zeolites. In this paper we examine whether these force fields can be used to simulate adsorption in other zeolite types. We find that experimentally obtained isotherms of small alkanes on high silica FER-, TON-, MTW-, and DON-type zeolites can be accurately modeled using a single force field. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc.
