Abstract
Fireside deposits in recovery boilers are typically white, red, pink, grey, black, or occasionally yellow, depending on where they are in the boiler, the mechanisms by which they are formed, and the environment to which they are exposed. Although rare, blue deposits have been reported, and some were “bluer” than others. This study systematically examines the cause of the blue coloration of deposits in recovery boilers. The results show that for a deposit to become blue, it must a) contain sodium carbonate, b) contain a small amount of manganese, c) be molten or partially molten, and d) have exposure to an oxidizing atmosphere. Because deposits always contain sodium carbonate and manganese, these requirements suggest that blue deposits can form only in the superheater region of the recovery boiler when oxidizing conditions prevail. Blue coloration is thus more likely to be observed in boilers operating at a reduced firing load with a high excess oxygen target.

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
