Monte Carlo simulation method is employed to investigate separation behavior of gas mixture composed of carbon dioxide and nitrogen through a model carbon membrane under the different conditions. The simulation gives insight into the separation mechanism to a certain extent, which is based on the loading and diffusion of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the carbon membrane with different pore size. The simulation results indicate that the carbon dioxide can be adsorbed on the surface of membrane wall more strongly, whereas the diffusion rate of nitrogen is more prominent. When the separation condition alters, the influence of the two main factors mentioned above on transport of gas molecules in membranes becomes different. Therefore, the equilibrium selectivity of nitrogen and carbon dioxide changes correspondingly.
