The adsorption behavior of water on ZSM-5 was simulated by using the grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo (GCEMC) method.The geometric structure and properties of ZSM-5 were first analysed by the Connolly surface methods and Solvent surface methods.Simulation results showed that Connolly free volume and the volume of water molecular inaccessible in zeolite gradually decreased with decreasing zeolite ratio nSi/nAl.ZSM-5 zeolite was strongly hydrophobic under low pressure conditions
and its adsorption capacity would increase with increasing pressure.Desorption curves had a certain lag
and this proved the existence of capillary rally phenomenon.The adsorption capacity of ZSM-5 zeolite exchanged by K+
Na+
Ca2+ had a significant change
and increased with increasing aperture size.The adsorption capacity of zeolite increased with Si atoms replaced by Ti atoms in zeolite matrix
while it would decrease with increasing number of Al atoms replaced by Ti atoms.At the same adsorption capacity
the absorption heat reduced with increasing nSi/nAl ratio or aperture size.
