• . Estimation of CO2/N2 selectivity via ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) The IAST is widely recognized as a predictive means to evaluate the adsorption selectivity of an adsorbent towards a gas mixture without experimental data for the gas mixture. Herein, a binary mixture of CO2 and N2 containing 10 vol

The experiments were conducted at 303 K and a total pressure of 100 kPa, according to the procedure described in the experimental section. Mass changes were calculated from frequency changes using the
