Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A preliminary study on aluminum pollution in the Xi'an section of the Weihe River was carried out. The results indicated that aluminum salt concentrations in the Weihe River ranged from 0.20 mg·L-1 to 0.66 mg·L-1,all of which exceed the water quality criteria of both the US and Canada and could do harm to human health. Although the flow rate of Weihe River increased from 36.4 m3·s-1 to 81.7 m3·s-1 after flowing through Xi'an,the aluminum concentration still rose to 0.43 mg·L-1 from the initial value of 0.29 mg·L-1; and the total amount of aluminum increased 2.4 times. During May 2008,a total of 66 tons of aluminum flowed into the Weihe River from Xi'an,of which one-fifth came from the Zaohe River. According to this investigation,the major cause of the increase of aluminum concentration in rivers was the flocculants used in wastewater treatment process,a great part of which were from paper mills. Since August 2008,stricter discharge standards for the paper making industry have been put into practice in China,so chemical flocculation plays an increasingly important role in wastewater treatment. All plants investigated use aluminum salts as flocculants,and this is the main reason why the aluminum concentration rose in the surface waters.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
