The storage of gases by adsorption at room temperature depends not only on the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent but also on its bulk density and on its helium density. With the aim of determining better adsorption conditions, we have undertaken systematic investigations based on fundamental aspects. We have measured the adsorption isotherms of current gases in a large pressure range and, at the same time, we have obtained by Monte-Carlo simulations the adsorption of Lennard-Jones gases on plane and microporous interfaces. Results of these two different approaches are in agreement adsorption isotherms of all the gases reveal no saturation of adsorption at high pressure but exhibit a maximum at moderate pressure and a minimum followed by a light reincrease at higher pressures. Such behaviour of the adsorption of gases appears to be mainly governed by solid-gas interaction, the microporous structure contributing only at the level of an increase of the specific area of the adsorbent. Combining these results and our own data on bulk and helium densities of activated carbons, as well as silica-gel and zeolites A and X, we have determined, as a function of pressure, the corresponding variation of the ‘specific storage capacity’ of methane and that, in different solid-state textures, of several adsorbents.
