Assessment of alternate characterization tests for prediction of taste and odour control by granular activated carbon
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The acetoxime number test was recently identified by the American Society for Testing and Materials as a method to characterize activated carbon. This adsorption isotherm gives information about the number of high energy adsorption sites on the surface of an activated carbon. A similar test uses tetrafluoromethane for the same purpose. In contrast, the more common iodine number and Brunauer, Emmet and Teller (BET) surface area parameters are a measure of the total number of adsorption sites. 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) is reported to require high energy sites for removal, so it was hypothesized that data from acetoxime and tetrafluoromethane isotherm tests for different activated carbons would be better correlated to MIB removal than iodine numbers or BET surface areas. MIB breakthrough was monitored in rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) using four natural waters and five activated carbons. Results showed no correlation between acetoxime or tetrafluoromethane isotherms and MIB breakthrough.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
