  Utilization of Banana Peel Biopolymer as a Natural Coagulant for Wastewater Treatment: A Sustainable Approach to Bio-Composite Applications

  By Vignesh M, Dhamothiran N, Bhuvaneshwaran E, Srinivasan A, Parameshwaran P, Dinesh S

  Abstract: This study explores an eco-innovative approach to wastewater treatment by utilizing banana peel powder (BPP) as a sustainable, low-cost bio-coagulant. Although effective, conventional chemical coagulants like aluminum sulfate and synthetic polymers are often non-biodegradable, toxic, and economically burdensome, particularly in decentralized or low-resource settings. In contrast, BPP—an agro-waste material rich in bioactive functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and phenolic compounds—provides a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative. To enhance its …

  Approach to Examine the Effect of Atomic Number on Single – Electron System of Group III Elements

  By Ukpaka C.P., Abraham Peter Ukpaka, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka

  Abstract: This study investigates the ionization energy, kinetic energy, and mass relationships among Group III elements (Boron, Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, and Thallium) to provide a comprehensive understanding of their atomic and physical properties. A detailed analysis of ionization energy trends reveals that Boron exhibits the highest ionization energy, while Thallium has the lowest, consistent with periodic trends influenced by increasing atomic radius and electron shielding. Gallium deviates slightly from this trend …
