520			_a This study was conducted to investigate its degradation efficacy using an Electro Fenton reactor using iron-impregnated banana peel biochar (Fe@BPBC) composite catalyst. Banana peels were collected and ground, subjected to pyrolysis, chemically and thermally activated, and mixed with water and FeCl3•6H2O. The resulting Fe@BPBC was analyzed using SEM, X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and FTIR. Degradation experiments were conducted in batches, with treated samples simulated using different concentrations of MB. The Fe@BPBC increases degradation within a short amount of time, reaching up to 71.26% degradation at 10 mg L-1 of initial MB concentration and 180 mg L-1 catalyst loading at 30 minutes. The degradation of MB was significantly influenced by catalyst loading, with higher loadings resulting in higher degradation. However, the efficiency of Fe@BPBC decreased as the initial MB concentration increased and the amount of Fe@BPBC catalyst added to the treatment decreased. Voltages and time of degradation were also studied. The maximum percentage of MB degradation was achieved at high catalyst loadings of 180 mg L-1 Fe@BPBC at 10 mg L-1 initial MB concentration and 7V. As the voltage of 0 (Fenton Reaction), 3, 5, 7, and time of degradation increases, the % MB degradation also increases. The % degradation for 0, 3, 5 and 7 with constant amount of Initial MB and catalyst loading were 55.59%, 68.74%, 71.26% and 83.50%, respectively. As for % degradation for varying time of 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes were 83.50%, 89.10%, and 95.16%, respectively. Electro-Fenton-like degradation was found to be more effective than Fenton-like process, with Fe@BPBC catalyst loading, initial MB, voltage, and time of reaction significantly affecting the degradation percentage of MB.
