The first method establishes two empirical correlations for each potential considered, one between the heights of the first peaks of the RDFs and state points, as well as the other between the displacements of the first peaks of the RDFs and state points. Through these empirical correlations, we can determine the state points of new Yukawa fluid systems with 100% accuracy. The second method utilizes artificial neural network models to predict state points from the heights and displacements of the first peaks of the RDFs, achieving 100% accuracy when the predicted results are rounded to one decimal place. The success of these methods again demonstrates the feasibility of determining state points solely based on equilibrium configurations, is an extension from the Lennard-Jones fluids to the Yukawa potential related fluids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12170,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Phase Equilibria","volume":"589 ","pages":"Article 114270"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In applications such as CO<sub>2</sub> capture, the Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) often fails to provide a quantitative description of mixture adsorption equilibrium especially in cation-exchanged zeolites. The failure of the IAST is ascribable to non-compliance with one or more tenets mandated by the IAST such as (a) homogeneous distribution of adsorbates within the pore landscape, (b) no preferential location of guest species, and (c) absence of molecular clustering due to say hydrogen bonding. The focus of this article is on the reliability of the Real Adsorbed Solution Theory (RAST) models for quantitative estimation of adsorption equilibrium. Configurational-Bias Monte Carlo (CBMC) simulations are undertaken to determine the adsorption equilibrium for ternary CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub>/N<sub>2</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub>/C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>, and water/methanol/ethanol mixtures in NaX, LTA-4A, CHA, DDR, and MFI zeolites. Additionally, CBMC simulations of the constituent binary pairs are used to determine the Wilson or NRTL parameters, taking due account of the dependence of the activity coefficients on the spreading pressure. Use of the binary pair Wilson or NRTL parameters allows the estimation of ternary mixture adsorption equilibrium, that is tested against the CBMC data on component loadings. In all investigated guest/host combinations, the RAST provides a good estimation of ternary mixture adsorption equilibrium.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12170,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Phase Equilibria","volume":"589 ","pages":"Article 114260"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
