This study addresses environmental concerns by utilizing banana peel waste to develop innovative adsorbent materials for wastewater treatment, aligning with circular economy principles. Spherical beads were synthesized from sodium alginate mixed various peel-based materials, including pure powder (PBP), activated carbon (AC), and magnetic (MAC). These evaluated their efficiency in removing tetracycline (TC) hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) as model pollutants representing antibiotics heavy metals, respectively. Characterization of the revealed functional groups thermal stability conducive effective adsorption. Adsorption trials demonstrated that MAC achieved highest removal efficiencies, up 92% TC 79% Cr(VI). The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics Langmuir isotherms. Remarkably, retained a significant capacity across reuse cycles, indicating regenerative potential. Comparisons other adsorbents highlight competitive performance these materials. results emphasize potential peel-derived cost-effective, sustainable solutions mitigating emerging water systems, promoting valorization protection. research demonstrates novel approach sequential without intermediate regeneration, showing can effectively remove both (VI) successive cycles. finding is particularly because it reveals presence previously adsorbed actually enhanced beads' second cycle, suggesting synergistic effect had not been reported literature. innovations contribute meaningfully treatment technologies, offering new insights into development multi-functional agricultural
