Abstract

In this article we present results of approximating molecular modeling of the gas mixtures methane-nitrogen, methane-carbon dioxide, and nitrogen-carbon dioxide adsorbed on activated carbon at a temperature of 318.2 K, based on the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory for potentials of Variable Range. Unlike the previous work (Castro et al.) showing the results in rescaled units, in this work the results obtained are shown in real units as obtained in the experiments.
