Abstract
The adsorption of linear alkanes in zeolite ferrierite is investigated using a recently developed forcefield based on the anisotropic united atom potential scheme. The simulation model is able to reproduce the subtle changes in adsorption sites occupancies of n-alkanes (n=3–7) in ferrierite with a good agreement with experimental data.
