Abstract

The paper shows, by molecular simulations, that a CNT (9,9) carbon nanotube allows very efficient separation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from N2, that has in good approximation properties of the complete air mixture. Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations are used to describe the adsorption. The permanent chemical reaction between N2O4 and NO2, which occurs simultaneously to adsorption, is treated by the reactive Monte Carlo simulation. A very high selectivity has been found. For a low pressure and at T = 298 K, an adsorption/reaction selectivity between NOx and N2 can reach values up to 3 × 103.
