Effects of a very low pH solution on the properties of an HDPE geomembrane
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effects of a very low pH solution (pH = 0.5) on a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane (GMB) are evaluated using accelerated ageing tests. The GMB specimens were incubated at 65°C, 75°C, and 85°C for up to 19 months. They were periodically removed from the immersion media and tested for retained chemical, mechanical and physical properties. The antioxidant depletion rates obtained from standard oxidative induction time (Std-OIT) tests were consistently lower than that obtained from high-pressure oxidative induction time (HP-OIT) tests at the three temperatures. This difference led to two substantially different estimates of antioxidant depletion time. The relationship between Std-OIT and HP-OIT was non-linear. It indicates the importance of using both methods to assess antioxidant depletion time of GMBs. Crystallinity, melt flow index (MFI) and tensile test results show that physical ageing has occurred, but no significant changes in physical properties due to oxidative degradation were observed after 19 months’ immersion.

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.
