Abstract
The mechanism of cobalt extraction by a tri-alkyl-amine hydrochloride (TAAHCl) was studied. Based on extraction solution chemistry, a mathematical expression was derived to identify metal transfer mechanisms. Both experimental results and theoretical consideration identified anions as the most favorable species for ion exchange with chloride anions in protonated TAAHCl. A new emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) system using TAAHCl as carriers was tested for the separation of cobalt from a nickel hydrometallurgical waste effluent. The effect of complex agent addition, carrier concentration, and acidity of the internal and external aqueous phases on cobalt extraction efficiency was investigated. Under optimum conditions, the enrichment of cobalt with a recovery rate of 99.8% was obtained by a one-stage process. The treated effluent contained mainly nickel, which is suitable for further nickel recovery, while the cobalt in the separated internal phase can be recovered as a value added by-product.

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
