The diffusion of n-hexane (nC6) isomers in the silicalite-1, as single component or in binary mixtures, is studied by Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to get a better insight of correlation effects between molecules. Original models, based on anisotropic transition rates to account for the molecule distribution within the zeolite, consider guest-guest interactions and different saturation capacities. Simulated loading dependences of single component self- and corrected diffusivities of nC6 and nC7 are in good agreement with Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering data. Results on binary diffusion of nC6/2,2-dimethylbutane (22DMB) mixtures show the impact of nC6-22DMB interactions on both self- and corrected diffusivities of the two species, while molecule-size effects prevail near 22DMB saturation capacity. Acceleration/deceleration effects are confirmed
