Abstract
New stricter regulations are being imposed on diesel quality for sulfur content worldwide. Recalcitrant aromatic sulfur compounds such as 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) are resistant to removal by hydrodesulfurization, because of their low reactivity and sterically hindering structure. Oxidative desulfurization is one of the alternatives that are being investigated for this purpose. In this study, an oxidative system composed of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide was investigated in a biphasic system of diesel and acetonitrile. Ultrasonic methods were applied for the intensive mixing of the biphasic system. The effects of different operating conditions including temperature, amount of oxidant, and the base concentration were investigated. Reduction of the DMDBT content by >90% was achieved in the diesel samples. The activation energy of pseudo-first-order reaction for DMDBT was determined to be 57 kJ/mol.

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
