We use Monte Carlo simulations to study the adsorption and separation of the natural gas components in IRMOF-1 and Cu-BTC metal-organic frameworks. We computed the adsorption isotherms of pure components, binary, and five-component mixtures analyzing the siting of the molecules in the structure for the different loadings. The bulk compositions studied for the mixtures were 50 : 50 and 90 : 10 for CH4-CO2, 90 : 10 for N-2-CO2, and 95 : 2.0 : 1.5 : 1.0 : 0.5 for the CH4-C2H6-N-2-CO2-C3H8 mixture. We choose this composition because it is similar to an average sample of natural gas. Our simulations show that CO2 is preferentially adsorbed over propane, ethane, methane and N-2 in the complete pressure range under study. Longer alkanes are favored over shorter alkanes and the lowest adsorption corresponds to N-2. Though IRMOF-1 has a significantly higher adsorption capacity than Cu-BTC, the adsorption selectivity of CO2 over CH4 and N-2 is found to be higher in the latter, proving that the separation efficiency is largely affected by the shape, the atomic composition and the type of linkers of the structure.
