Resumen:
A Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to study adsorption of CH4 onzeolites and the result are here presented for NaA and CaNaA zeolites. The adsorptionisotherms of CH 4 and the radial distribution of the adsorbed molecules have beenobtained at four different temperatures in the pressure range 0 to 5 Mpa. The potentialenergy of adsorption has been calculated and the energy profile of a CH4 molecule alongdifferent axes in the zeolite cavity are discussed. High density storage of natural gas isessential for the efficient use of this gas as an alternative transportation fuel. One of thepromising storage technologies is the adsorbed natural gas (ANG), in which the gas isadsorbed on highly microporous solids like zeolites or actived carbons. Structural as wellas chemical properties of the porous adsorbents influence strongly the adsorptionphenomenon, therefore, both experimental as theorical investigation are still necessary toselect better solids for specific applications.
