Abstract
This research focused on the effects of inorganic water constituents on the efficiency of vacuum UV (VUV) for the degradation of micropollutants in surface water supplies. Atrazine was used as a model miropollutant, and bicarbonate, sulphate, and nitrate were used as the most common inorganic constituents in the water matrix. First, the absorbance of radiation at 254 and 185 nm was measured in the presence of different ions. At 254 nm, only nitrate showed a measurable absorption coefficient of = 3.51 M cm, and all other ions showed a molar absorption coefficient below the detection limit. However, at 185 nm, all the ions showed high absorption coefficients, with nitrate giving the highest absorption coefficient of = 5568 M cm. Second, the hydroxyl radical (HO) scavenging effects of the same inorganic ions were evaluated; nitrate and bicarbonate showed a negative effect during the UV/H2O2 and VUV advanced oxidation processes. Sulfate was photolyzed with 185 nm UV to form HO, and for this reason, it assisted the degradation of the target micropollutant, as demonstrated by increases in the degradation rate constant. An additional component of this work involved developing a method for measuring the quantum yield of atrazine at 185 nm. This made it possible to distinguish the contribution of OH radical attach from that of direct photolysis towards the degradation of atrazine.

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
