A grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method is carried out to determine optimum adsorptive storage pressures of supercritical methane in pillared layered pores. In the simulation, the pillared layered pore is modeled by a uniform distribution of pillars between two solid walls. Methane is described as a spherical Lennard-Jones molecule, and Steele's 10-4-3 potential is used for representing the interaction between the fluid and a layered wall. The site-site interaction is also used for calculating the interaction energy between methane molecules and pillars. An effective potential model that reflects the characteristics of a real pillared layered material is proposed here. In the model, a binary interaction parameter, k(fw), is introduced into the combining rule for the cross-energy parameter for the interaction between the fluid and a layered wall. Based on the experimental results for the Zr-pillared material synthesized and characterized by Boksh, Kikkinides, and Yang, the binary interaction parameter, k(fw), is determined by fitting the simulation results to the experimental adsorption data of nitrogen at 77 K. Then, by taking it as a model of pillared layered material, a series of GCMC simulations have been carried out. The excess adsorption isotherms of methane in a pillared layered pore with three different pore widths and porosities are obtained at three supercritical temperatures T = 207.3, 237.0, and 266.6 K. Based on the simulation results at different porosities, various pore widths and different supercritical temperatures, the pillared layered pore with porosity psi = 0.94 and pore width hsigma(p) = 1.02 nm is recommended as adsorption storage material of supercritical methane. Moreover, the optimum adsorption pressure is determined at a given temperature and a fixed width of the pillared layered pore. For example, at temperature T = 207.3 K, the optimum adsorption pressures are 3.1, 3.7, and 4.5 M Pa at H = 1.02,130, and 2.38 nm, respectively. In summary, the GCMC method is a useful tool for optimizing adsorption storage of supercritical methane in pillared layered material.
