Abstract
New functional mesoporous carbon sorbents were successfully synthesized to overcome some issues of solid-liquid extraction (e.g., selectivity, extraction capacity, and reusability under acidic conditions) in production of pure lanthanides (Ln). Wet-oxidation technique was performed to increase the surface reactivity of pristine ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), and, in a second step, a surface modification using diglycolamide-based (DGA-based) selective ligands toward Ln was performed. Two types of ligands were tested: the first contains a long spacer (e.g., between carbon support and chelating function), and the second has a shorter one. These materials have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These analyses confirmed that the carbon mesostructure was maintained after organo-functionalization of the surface and showed the covalent attachment of selective ligands. These new materials, and especially the system with a short spacer between the ligand and the surface, reveal unique Ln selectivity profiles with improved extraction performances for the recovery of lanthanides, in terms of both selectivity and adsorption capacity, and unprecedented stability under acidic conditions.

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
