Abstract
, current of 150 mA, electrode distance of 2 cm, and contact time of 120 minutes), the ideal magnetic biochar (RBCF12) exhibited a RhB degradation efficiency of 91.67%. Kinetic studies revealed that the degradation followed a pseudo-first-order model. The degradation efficiency of RBCF12 remained over 60% after 6 consecutive runs, demonstrating its high stability and reusability for practical wastewater treatment applications. This research highlights the efficiency of magnetic biochar as a cost-effective, sustainable material for advanced oxidation processes. Additionally, by leveraging both Fenton-like and E-Fenton processes, it offers a robust and eco-friendly solution to address dye contamination in industrial effluents, contributing to the development of more sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment practices.
