The diffusion coefficients of benzene and propylene in MFI, MWW and BEA zeolites were calculated by simulating the mean-square displacements(MSD) at 298 and 600 K. Benzene and propylene showed the different adsorption rules in the channels of the three zeolites. For propylene, the molecular loadings decreased in the order: BEA(linear channel)〉BEA (tortuous channel)〉MFI(linear channel)〉MWW(12-membered rings, 12MR channel)〉MFI(tortuous channel)〉MWW (10-membered rings, 10MR channel); for benzene, the molecular loadings decreased in the order: BEA(linear chan-nel)〉BEA(tortuous channel)〉MWW(12MR channel)〉MFI(linear channel)〉MFI(tortuous channel)〉MWW(10MR channel). Besides, the adsorption isotherms of benzene and propylene in the three zeolites at 298 and 443 K were simulated. The results show that the different factors influenced the molecular adsorption at various temperatures and pressures, leading to the different rules for the adsorption of benzene and propylene molecules in the zeolites. At a low pressure, the unfavorable energy would make the loadings of propylene lower than those of benzene. When pressure was higher than 0.25 kPa, the adsorption of benzene in MFI would nearly reach saturation.展开更多

The related free volumes are defined as homology clusters. Then the sorption and the permeation of gases in PPX C polymers are studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and NVT-MD methods. The results show that the crystalline PPX C membranes provide smaller free volumes for absorbing or transferring gases relative to the amorphous PPX C area. The gas sorption in PPX C membranes mainly belongs to the physical one, and H bonds can appear obviously in the amorphous area. By cluster analyzing on the mean square displacement of gases, we find that gases walk along the x axis in the crystalline area and walk randomly in the amorphous area. The calculated permeability coefficients are close to the experimental data.展开更多

A positive correlation between the asphericity parameter A and the square of the end-to-end distanceR^2, as well as that between A and the square of the radius of gyration S^2, is found for both RW and SAW chains, indicatingthat a chain conformation of small size is usually more spherical than one of large size. The result can explain why the shapeof the SAW chain deviate much more from a sphere than that of the RW chain, and can also explain the similar dependenceof size and shape on chain stiffness and on the distance of the first bead of a chain from an infinitely large flat surface.展开更多
