Molecular simulation of methane adsorption within illite minerals in the Longmaxi Formation shale based on a grand canonical Monte Carlo method and the pore size distribution in southeastern Chongqing, China

In order to investigate the pore structure and the adsorption capacity of illite with respect to the methane in the Longmaxi Formation, isothermal adsorption experiments utilizing mercury intrusion, liquid nitrogen, and low-temperature carbon dioxide techniques were applied to the shale samples from...
