Abstract

We have studied a model of a hard sphere fluid adsorbed in a cylindrical pore filled with quenched disordered matrix of hard sphere particles using Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The interactions between matrix species and pore walls are assumed of a hard sphere type. However, the pore walls exert a short-range attraction upon adsorbed fluid particles. We discuss the adsorption isotherms and the density profiles of fluid particles in pores with different microporosity for several values of the pore radius. We have observed that like in homogeneous microporous media the adsorption increases with increasing porosity. However, trends of behavior of the isotherms also reflect layering of adsorbed fluid. The data obtained in this study may serve as a benchmark for the development of the theory of confined quenched-annealed systems and for computer simulation investigation of models permitting phase transitions in pores.
