Comparative study of PAH removal efficiency under absence of molecular oxygen: effect of electron acceptor and hydrodynamic conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A series of experiments were made in order to compare the removal efficiency of a mixture of four PAHs (naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene), under different electron acceptor (NO 3 - , SO 4 -2 ) and hydrodynamic conditions (stagnation and high shear). In all cases naphthalene showed the highest removal efficiency (from 69% up to 100%) as compared with the other PAHs. The fastest rate was obtained for the denitrifying-high shear condition followed by denitrification-no shear, sulfate-reduction-high shear and the lowest for sulfate reduction-no shear. However, most of the perceived removal of the heavier PAHs could be due to aging. No lag time was observed for the denitrifying experiments, and the denitrification rate was the same regardless of the hydrodynamic condition. A lag time of 64 d was observed under conditions of sulfate reduction and high shear. Sulfate reduction did not commence under no shear conditions. No toxic effect was observed for the four PAH mixture under all the conditions tested. Key words: anaerobic systems, biodegradation, denitrification, hydrodynamic conditions, PAH, sulfate reduction.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
