Abstract
Applicant has developed a method for predicting the structure of a zeolite including the cation positions and distributions. The method comprises using combinatorial minimization and molecular mechanics techniques. One important aspect of the technique is the bumping of two cations. Another aspect of the invention is predicting the adsorption isotherms of the invention using a biased-Grand Cononical Monte Carlo technique which contains electrostatic and dispersion interaction terms between gas molecules and the zeolite.
