Abstract
The impact of hydroxyl radical (*OH) on the molecular weight distribution of natural organic matter (NOM) was investigated. *OH was generated via the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by ultraviolet (UV) radiation of 254 nm, also known as UV/ H2O2 advanced oxidation (AO). Additionally, the impact of combined membrane and UV/H2O2 treatment on the molecular weight distribution of NOM was studied. High performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) was used to determine the apparent molecular weight (AMW) distribution of chromophoric NOM (CNOM). Prior to AO, 33% of the CNOM in the water had AMW greater than 1400 Da. Meanwhile, lower AMW CNOM made up smaller amounts of the CNOM, with CNOM of AMW less than 450 Da making up 5% of the total. Under the AO conditions typically applied in drinking water treatment applications, NOM was not mineralized but was partially oxidized resulting in significant reduction in aromaticity. *OH preferentially reacted with higher AMW CNOM and the fragmentation of high AMW CNOM led to the formation of smaller AMW CNOM. Ultrafiltration removed all CNOM greater than 1400 Da AMW and a large portion of other high AMW fractions. In the absence of high AMW CNOM, *OH reacted more readily with all AMW fractions leading to a reduction in concentration of most AMW fractions. Whereas *OH reacted nonspecifically with all AMW fractions, the reaction rate between *OH and CNOM was observed to be dependent on molecular size.

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
