“…1,2 The awareness of scientific researchers about offshore oil spills is increasing due to substantial economic losses and environmental worries that have caused human health dangers. 3,4 These spills occur during exploration, production, transport, usage, storage, operational failures tools failures, and natural disasters. [5][6][7] Different factors affect the ability of an oil spill to spread including surface tension, viscosity, and specific gravity.…”

Oil sorbents play a significant role in the treatment processes of oil spills, therefore, enhancing the oil-water separation capacity of sorbents has been charming the consideration of scientific researchers. To improve the properties of oil sorption and simplify the process of oil recovery, many advanced oil sorbent devices have been projected recently. Different types of materials are used as sorbents for oil-water separation, however, up to now, there is no review paper focused on textile (woven, knitting, and nonwoven) sorbents, and compared with them. In this review paper, the classification of textile fabrics, properties of surface wetting, fabrication methods of textile sorbents for oil spill cleanup, their properties, and recent applications in the field of oil cleanup are studied. We believe this review can serve as an essential reference for the formation of textile sorbents, their properties, and their applications in the field of oil spill cleanup.

“…The main aim of monitoring is to provide information that is necessary for water management in catchments, and to protect them from anthropogenic threats and eutrophication. Traditional methods of assessing the quality of surface waters are based on collecting and analysing water samples, usually no more often than once per month [1,2]. Although this approach provides accurate knowledge about the ecological and chemical status of rivers and water reservoirs, it generates high costs, is time consuming, and does not provide continuous monitoring and information on a regional scale.…”

The quality of inland waters has a significant influence on human life and the functioning of the environment. The disasters that result from water pollution may cause major financial losses and lead to irreversible changes in the ecosystem, such as the dying out of endemic species of plants and animals. Quick detection of pollution sources may minimise those negative effects and reduce the costs of their elimination. The study presents a constellation design that provides imagery in the optic range and that might supplement the point water quality measurements that are conducted in situ. The area of interest was the southern catchment of the Baltic Sea and the main rivers in the region. The requirements for the designed mission were defined in reference to the remote sensing needs concerning the monitoring of water quality, the characteristics of the analysed area, and weather conditions. Based on these requirements, the Simera Sense MultiScape100 CIS sensor and the M6P nanosatellite manufactured by NanoAvionics were selected. The authors proposed a process for selecting the optimum orbit, taking into account the area of interest, the possibilities of the satellite platform, and of the sensor’s optics. As a result of the analyses, four concepts of creating a constellation were presented. Each constellation consisted of four nanosatellites. The designs were then subjected to performance analysis, considering the lighting limitations. Among the proposed systems, the constellation designed by the authors was distinguished; it used four orbital planes and achieved the coverage and availability of imagery in the time that was best suited to monitoring the waters. Thanks to a small number of platforms, the costs of the mission are relatively low, and it might significantly improve awareness of the current state of surface waters in the southern catchment of the Baltic Sea.
