Abstract
In metal productions from sulphide ores, sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) is generated when the ore concentrate is smelted. To minimize emission of SO 2 to the atmosphere, sulphuric acid plants are used to convert SO 2 gas into sulphuric acid product in smelters. A SO 2 to sulphur dioxide (SO 3 ) converter, where SO 2 is oxidized to SO 3 with the help of catalyst, is the key unit in a sulphuric acid plant. For monitoring the converter, temperature of the reactor is extensively measured at various locations, but the concentration of SO 2 is barely measured or only measured at very limited points due to the difficulty and costs involved. In this paper, a soft sensor is developed to estimate the conversion ratio and concentration of SO 2 . The soft sensor is derived based on the steady state mass balance model of the converter and dynamic data analysis. From the proposed soft sensor, conversion ratio and concentration of SO 2 can be estimated from available industrial real‐time measurement.

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
