Adsorption and desorption kinetic curves of N2 at 298 K with an inlet gas flow rate of 200 mbar min–1 (a). MD simulated self-diffusion rates of N2 and CH4 molecules in MOR-Cu-210 (b). Cycling breakthrough tests for an equimolar binary mixture of N2/CH4 in a column packed with MOR-Cu-210 at a feed gas flow rate of 2 NmL min–1 (c). Experimental column breakthrough curves for the mixtures of N2/CH4 (50/50, v/v) on MOR-Cu-210 at a feed gas flow rate of 20 NmL min–1 (d). Breakthrough curves for other feed gas compositions, N2/CH4 (10/90, v/v) (e) and N2/CH4 (5/95, v/v) (f). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
