Abstract
In this work, the batch-reactor reduction of selenious acid (H 2 SeO 3 ) species with sodium dithionite (Na 2 S 2 O 4 ) from weakly acidic sulfate solutions containing 300 mg/L of selenium at 23 ο C was studied. The results showed that, at an initial pH value of <1.7 and a dithionite stoichiometric excess of >3, <0.5 μg/L of selenium(IV) remained in solution after reduction. The reductive precipitation reaction started as soon as dithionite was added in the selenium-bearing solution and was completed within less than a minute. However, it was determined that the precipitate was not stable in the presence of the dithionite decomposition byproduct and partially redissolved after several hours. The reaction product, characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and chemical analysis, was determined to be red amorphous selenium. The precipitate, in addition to elemental selenium, was determined to contain monoclinic sulfur that was apparently formed via a side reaction pathway involving the decomposition of dithionite.

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
