The adsorption and separation behaviors of CO₂ and CH₄ in new siliceous zeolites (IFO, JSR, OKO, SEW) were simulated using the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo method in the paper. The adsorption isotherms for pure components and binary mixtures of CO₂ and CH₄ in four siliceous zeolites were obtained. The adsorption thermodynamic properties including Gibb’s free energy change, enthalpy change and entropy change were investigated. The results demonstrate that the adsorbed amount of pure components increases with an increase in pressure, and larger pore volume and surface area are beneficial to improve the adsorption capacity. The adsorption amount of CO₂ and CH₄ in the JSR zeolite is 7.08 and 2.27 mmol g−1 at 1000 kPa, respectively. In view of the thermodynamic results, the new siliceous zeolites show a higher affinity for CO₂. The adsorption capacities of CO₂ in all zeolites were five times more than those of CH₄ in binary mixtures based on the ratios of equilibrium adsorption capacity. Considering the adsorption uptake and selectivity for CO₂/CH₄, the JSR zeolite is a good candidate for the separation of CO₂/CH₄ at low pressure.
