| Abstract
| - We report experimental measurements of the adsorption of methane and ethane, and binary mixturesof these components, on MCM-41. This adsorbent, which has a simple, regular pore structure and a chemicallyhomogeneous surface, was used as a model system on which to evaluate methods for the prediction ofadsorption equilibrium. Two methods were evaluated: ideal adsorbed solution theory and grand canonicalMonte Carlo simulation. Both methods gave accurate predictions of binary adsorption. In addition, thegrand canonical Monte Carlo method was able to accurately predict pure-component adsorption.
