Hydroxyl radical production by abiotic oxidation of pyrite under estuarine conditions: The effects of aging, seawater anions and illumination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pyrite is widely distributed in estuarine sediments as an inexpensive natural Fenton-like reagent, however, the mechanism on the hydroxyl radical (HO · ) production by pyrite under estuarine environmental conditions is still poorly understood. The batch experiments were performed to investigate the effects of estuarine conditions including aging (in air, in water), seawater anions (Cl − , Br − and HCO 3 − ) and light on the HO · production by pyrite oxidation. The one-electron transfer dominated the process from O 2 to HO · induced by oxidation of pyrite. The Fe (oxyhydr)oxide coatings on the surface of pyrite aged in air and water consumed hydrogen peroxide while mediating the electron transfer, and the combined effect of the two resulted in a suppression of HO · production in the early stage of aging and a promotion of HO · production in the later stage of aging. Corrosion of the surface oxide layers by aggressive anions was the main reason for the inhibition of HO · production by Cl − and Br − , and the generation of Cl · and Br · may also play a role in the scavenging of HO · . HCO 3 − increased the average rate of HO · production through surface-CO 2 complexes formed by adsorption on the surface of pyrite. The significant enhancement of HO · production under light was attributed to the formation of photoelectrons induced by photochemical reactions on pyrite and its surface oxide layers. These findings provide new insights into the environmental chemical behavior of pyrite in the estuary and enrich the understanding of natural remediation of estuarine environments.

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.
