Understanding the molecular-level solubility of CO 2 and its mixtures is essential to the progress of gas-treating technologies. Herein, we use grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations to study the single-component gas absorption of SO 2 , N 2 , CH 4 , and H 2 and binary mixtures of CO 2 /SO 2 , CO 2 /N 2 , CO 2 /CH 4 , and CO 2 /H 2 of varying mole fractions within multivalent ionic liquids (ILs). Our results highlight the importance of the free volume effect and the anion effect when interpreting the absorption behavior of these mixtures, similar to the behavior of CO 2 found in our previous study ( Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2020, 22, 20618-20633). The deviation of gas solubility between the pure component absorption versus he binary absorption, as well as the solubility selectivity, highlights the importance of the relative affinity of gas species within a mixture to the different anions. The absorption selectivity within a specific IL system can be predicted based on the relative gas affinity to the anion.
