Abstract
Abstract The abatement of perfluorinated compound (PFC) gases is investigated using atmospheric pressure microwave-surface-wave plasmas. These PFCs are diluted in nitrogen gas with concentration ranging from 5000 to 10 000 ppmv. The abatement mechanisms of SF 6 and CF 4 are examined, and conversion schemes are presented in the case where oxygen is added to the gas mixture. The PFC fragments are oxidized, forming acid-like by-products that are finally trapped irreversibly using a humidified soda lime scrubber. Gas-phase analysis was performed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The abatement efficiency is found to increase with increasing absorbed microwave power and gas residence time. The energy efficiency of the abatement process is shown to increase, with PFC concentrations in the gas mixture up to 10 000 ppmv. A complete conversion of SF 6 is achieved for energy densities ranging from 700 to 1200 J/cm 3 for concentrations ranging from 5000 to 10 000 ppmv. Lowering the microwave excitation frequency and using swirling flow are shown to reduce the energy cost per abated molecule.

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
