In China, owing to the methane concentration being below 0.75%, coal ventilation air (CVAM) is usually emitted directly into atmosphere, rather than utilized, which not only causes huge waste of energy but also exerts potential hazards greenhouse effect. It important and practicable save costs development investment by simulating enrichment separation CVAM with an aim improve efficiency recover...

Some nanoporous, crystalline materials possess dynamic constituents, for example, rotatable moieties. These moieties can undergo a conformation change in response to the adsorption of guest molecules, which qualitatively impacts adsorption behavior. We pose and solve a statistical mechanical model of gas adsorption in a porous crystal whose cages share a common ligand that can adopt two distinc...

Dehydration of ethanol via adsorption on 3Å molecular sieves has recently been increasing in application in industry as an alternative to the conventional separation techniques for breaking the ethanol-water azeotrope. Over the past 20 years, Pressure-Vacuum Swing Adsorption (PSA) processes have gained increasing commercial acceptance as an energy-efficient separation technique. A general purpo...
