Abstract

The alkali fusion-magnesium modified oil-based drilling cuttings ash (AM-Mg-OBDCA) was synthesized and characterized for its capacity to remove Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. Adsorption kinetics conformed to the pseudo-second-order model, underscoring a chemisorption-dominated mechanism, while Langmuir isotherm analysis determined a maximum adsorption capacity of 440.2 mg/g. Post-adsorption structural and chemical transformations, confirmed by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS analyses, revealed the contributions of electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange, surface precipitation, and cation exchange. Photocatalytic tests demonstrated that the CdS-A/M-g-C₃N₄ (2:1) composite exhibited superior degradation of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) under visible light, suggesting potential applications in environmental remediation. However, reusability tests indicated a marked decline in adsorption capacity after initial use, pointing to the need for further material optimization. Overall, AM-Mg-OBDCA shows promise as an effective adsorbent for Cd(II) removal and a precursor for photocatalytic materials, offering a sustainable approach to wastewater treatment and resource recovery.

期刊介绍： Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
