Abstract
Several technologies have been developed for capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), but absorption remains the most suitable method for large-scale industrial operations. In recent years the use of gas absorption membrane (GAM) systems has been explored as an alternative to traditional packed columns. This paper evaluates the performance of a GAM system and a packed column using the overall mass transfer coefficient ( K G a v ) as a basis for comparison. The GAM system tested microporous polypropylene (PP) and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) hollow fiber membranes while the packed column contained Sulzer DX structured packing. Aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine (MEA) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) were used in both absorbers. Experimental results showed that the GAM system performed better than the packed column. GAM systems deserve the attention they have been receiving from researchers as they have significant potential to replace packed columns.

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
