Problem in adsorption

[bluebox3486]

Dear RASPA-Community,

I'm sorry my mother tongue is not english and I'm just undergraduate,so what i wrote might be weird.

I simulated N2 adsorption in AlPO-5 and compared to actual data,but data is quite different.

Actual data shows slight curve when pressure goes 1atm, but simulation data shows almost same.

I used parameters in RASPA example,so I think they were not problem.( I couldn't find LJ-Potentialfor P so I wrote random parameter & MOF data and simulated many times, data was similar :'( )

I think problem is my simulation.input is wrong and it does not successfully adsorbed N2. But I have no idea.

I attached my graph for understanding.

thank you for the replying.

I would suggest to talk to experimental people and ask why their data goes up.
I expect this is due to adsorption at the external surface. You would expect that the results for adsorption should level off to a saturation value.
