Ibuprofen is a significant nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that poses environmental and health risks when present in wastewater because of its persistence probable toxicity. This study investigates the use banana peel biochar (BPB) made at 600 °C to 900 eliminate ibuprofen from aqueous solutions. The uniqueness this work lies high-temperature pyrolysis process, which has not been previously explored for removal efficiency using BPB. batch experiment was conducted considering initial concentrations, pH, contact time. data were compared with different algorithms, Linear Regression (LR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) forecast performance. results revealed exhibited highest (69.28 ± 0.83%) 125 mg/L concentration sequence BPB900 > BPB800 BPB700 BPB600. A maximum 72.67 0.75% observed pH 9. Adsorption behavior analyzed isotherm kinetic models, Freundlich model (R2 value 0.9620) indicating heterogeneous adsorption pseudo-second-order (PSO) 0.9969) suggesting physicochemical interactions govern process. FTIR analysis ensured existence functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxylic, carbonyl, aromatic rings) responsible adsorption. Machine learning especially RF, demonstrated outstanding performance 90.07% accuracy predicting experimental data. In comparison other adsorbents, BPB superior efficiency, underscoring effectiveness. suggests BPB, particularly °C, effective removing ibuprofen, due sustainable production, it offers potential solution treatment.
