Abstract
Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is a common environmental pollutant that is treated by its reduction to the trivalent form Cr(III). The latter can be re-oxidized to the toxic form, Cr(VI), under specific conditions. A study was conducted on the removal of Cr(III) to eliminate the hazard imposed by its presence in soil as there has been some evidence that organic compounds can decrease its sorption. The effect of addition of negatively-charged biosurfactants (rhamnolipids) on chromium contaminated kaolinite was studied. Results showed that the rhamnolipids have the capability of extracting 25% portion of the stable form of chromium, Cr(III), from the kaolinite, under optimal conditions. The removal of hexavalent chromium was also enhanced compared to water by a factor of 2 using a solution of rhamnolipids. Results from the sequential extraction procedure showed that rhamnolipids remove Cr(III) mainly from the carbonate and oxide/hydroxide portions of the kaolinite. The rhamnolipids had also the capability of reducing close to 100% of the extracted Cr(VI) to Cr(III) over a period of 24 days. This study indicated that rhamnolipids could be beneficial for the removal or long–term conversion of chromium Cr(VI) to Cr(III).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
