Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This study explored synthesizing titanium carbide (TiC) from bitumen coke using mechanical alloying. Initially, raw bitumen coke (5.9 wt.% sulphur) from delayed coking was desulphurized to produce low sulphur coke with a sulphur content of 0.2 wt.% for comparison purposes. Both high and low sulphur coke samples were mechanically alloyed with titanium (Ti) powder in a planetary ball mill under various conditions (milling time, milling speed, and ball‐to‐material ratios [BMR]). TiC was successfully produced from both high sulphur and low sulphur coke samples. The formation of TiC was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The effects of the experimental parameters on the production of TiC were evaluated. The experimental results showed that the high sulphur coke and Ti were converted into TiC after 10 h milling, whereas the low sulphur coke and Ti were converted into TiC much faster (after 5 h milling) at the same milling speed and BMR. Under the same milling time and BMR, the high sulphur coke and Ti were converted into TiC at 400 rpm, whereas the low sulphur coke and Ti were converted into TiC at 300 rpm. In addition, the high sulphur coke and Ti were converted into TiC when the BMR was 60:1, and the low sulphur coke and Ti were converted into TiC when the BMR was 40:1 under the same milling time and speed. Overall, preliminary results suggest that the conversion of low sulphur coke samples is easier and requires less energy to produce TiC compared to the high sulphur coke samples.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
