Photochemical degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) using UV/H₂0₂
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The oxidation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) by advanced oxidation processes in water was investigated. The degradation of BTEX by UV-185 and UV-254 nm in conjunction with H₂O₂ was studied. It was observed that the recommended H₂0₂ concentration to degrade 100 mgTOC/L of BTEX was 250 mg/L and 300 mg/L for UV-185 and UV-254 nm, respectively. In addition, it was observed that using the lamps in series did not have any advantages in the TOC removal of BTEX. Under acidic condition, pH 3, UV-185/H₂O₂ removed 10% more than UV-254/H₂O₂. At the recommended H₂O₂ concentration, 90% of BTEX mineralization was occurred with UV-185 nm/HO₂ under acidic condition of pH 3. It was observed that 21-32% BOD/TOC ratio of BTEX was decreased with an increase in residence time (within 140 min) in the photoreactor.

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.
