In addition, this study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of protective coatings in reducing the vulnerability of pipelines to explosions, as well as Reducing oil spills and pollution of the marine environment. To this aim, the designed numerical models with outer diameter of 914 mm, thickness of 12.7 mm, and coating thicknesses of 12.8, 38.3, 63.8, and 89.3 mm were placed at distances of 122 and 1122 mm from TNT explosives with masses of 0.3 and 1 kg. The results revealed that utilizing a protective layer with a thickness of 89.3 mm protects the pipe against the blast wave optimally. In this case, the maximum pipe indentation intensity was about 9 mm, which is about 60% less than that in the uncoated pipe (15 mm). However, the damage created by the explosion bubble is among the key points, which has rarely been examined before. Improper design and implementation of the protective coating can lead to stress concentration and increased damage to the pipe due to the formation of the explosion bubble. Thus, the type of coating, as well as its thickness and distance from the main pipe should be selected carefully. Selecting the optimal distance for the protective coating significantly protects the subsea pipeline from the explosion and its bubble, resulting in reducing the risk of oil spills and pollution of the marine environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 14","pages":"13631 - 13644"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145028240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To remove heavy metal ions from polluted water, a bio-based cross-linked copolymer comprising vegetable oil-derived <i>n</i>-octadecyl acrylate and acrylic acid was synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization using multifunctional calix[4]resorcin-arene thioester as an initiator. Its amphiphilic structure, featuring both hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains, ensured efficient hazardous adsorption. Several techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis, were used to characterize and confirm the formation of the polymeric adsorbent. This copolymer has been evaluated for its ability to remove some common risky metal cations, including cadmium, nickel, and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions, which showed high adsorption efficiency. Optimization studies were conducted to maximize ion adsorption. In addition, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were used to analyze adsorption kinetics, and Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to study adsorption isotherms. The thermodynamics of adsorption was also investigated. As a result, high adsorption efficiency and effective ion desorption capability emphasize its recoverability and reusability.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 14","pages":"13463 - 13482"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145028130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores integrating ground-based meteorological and traffic data with satellite-derived datasets to improve particulate matter 2.5 prediction accuracy in Tehran. The results demonstrate that while ground-based data can offer valuable insights, combining these datasets with satellite information significantly enhances predictive performance. Accurate prediction of particulate matter 2.5, a harmful air pollutant linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, is critical for managing air quality in densely populated cities. This study compares remote sensing data with four configurations of ground data, meteorological and traffic data, and a combination of remote sensing and meteorological data in predicting particulate matter 2.5 concentrations across Tehran’s 22 districts. Ground data included meteorological factors, traffic data, and direct air quality measurements, supplemented by satellite-based aerosol optical depth estimates from NASA’s HD4 archives via Google Earth Engine. Using machine learning, deep learning, and statistical models, study evaluated the predictive accuracy of each dataset. The findings show that remote sensing data consistently outperforms all ground data configurations, offering superior performance and flexibility. This indicates that satellite-based remote sensing is an effective, independent tool for particulate matter 2.5 prediction, particularly in regions lacking ground monitoring infrastructure. These results underscore the potential of satellite-derived particulate matter 2.5 estimates for public health research and air quality management.
