title: Adsorption mechanism of carbon dioxide in faujasites: grand canonical monte carlo simulations and microcalorimetry measurements.
abstract: Molecular simulations have been coupled with adsorption microcalorimetry measurements in order to understand more deeply the interactions between carbon dioxide and various types of faujasite surfaces. The modeling studies, based on newly derived interatomic potentials for describing the interactions within the whole system, provide isotherms and evolutions of the differential enthalpy of adsorption as a function of coverage for DAY, NaY, and NaLSX which are in very good accordance with those obtained experimentally. The microscopic mechanism of CO2 adsorption was carefully analyzed, with different behaviors proposed, depending on the energetic characteristics of each faujasite surface, which are consistent with the trends observed for the differential enthalpies of adsorption.
