【 摘 要 】

This study showed the high adsorptive capacity of the peel of Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis when used to remove Cu2+ adsorbent in a simulated column study using Aspen Adsorption®8.4. The results confirmed that the bed height, inlet Cu2+ concentration and flowrate had significant influence on Cu2+ adsorption using Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis. There was an increased in the breakthrough time with increasing bed height. The breakthrough time remained the same even when the inlet concentration was increased, as long as the bed height and flowrate were maintained constant at any inlet concentration. A steeper slope of the breakthrough curve was attained when the flowrate was increased and the breakthrough time decreased.
