Abstract
The electric arc furnace (EAF) has the potential to significantly contribute to the decarbonization of the iron and steel industry. However, during EAF steelmaking, carbon still needs to be injected into the molten slag to initiate slag foaming, which is beneficial to the energy efficiency and protection of the furnace. To move away from fossil carbon, biocarbon has gained attention as an injection carbon agent. In this study, two biochar candidates were added to the molten slag layer of an induction furnace for steel melting, to simulate EAF steelmaking conditions. The resultant slag foaming height was measured, and a ranking in comparison to two fossil carbon candidates was developed. The results indicate that the injection biochar sample, in the form of a bio-briquette, has a considerable degree of slag foaming capacity. More work is ongoing to develop a standardized testing methodology of ranking various injection biochar candidates for their suitability and qualification for use on a larger scale.

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 it
