Abstract
CO2-binding organic liquids (CO2BOLs) chemically bind and release CO2 more efficiently than aqueous alkanolamine systems. CO2BOLs are comprised of alcohols and organic amidine or guanidine bases, which chemically bind CO2 as liquid amidinium or guanidinium alkylcarbonate salts. CO2BOLs have high CO2 binding capacities (19% by weight, 147 g CO2/L) compared to that of 30% monoethanolamine solution in water (7% by weight, 108 g CO2/L) because they are liquid with or without bound CO2 and do not require any added solvent such as water. The dissolution of CO2 into and out of the liquid phase limits the rate of CO2 capture and release. Absorption of CO2 is selective over nitrogen in both concentrated and dilute gas streams making these systems applicable to post- and pre-combustion CO2 capture. The free energy of CO2 binding in these systems is small and is independent of the choice of alcohol. The free energies of these systems are dependent on the choice of base; −9 kJ/mol for diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and Barton’s base and +2 kJ/mol for 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine. The specific heats of the organic CO2BOLs are over 50% lower than that of water, resulting in a 50% reduction in the energy needed to strip out CO2 as compared to aqueous alkanolamine solutions. CO2BOLs have been recycled for five cycles without losing activity or selectivity towards CO2.

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
