Abstract
Algae-based wastewater treatment is a form of passive wastewater treatment used to treat municipal and agricultural wastewaters. While pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP) treatment has been observed, the removal mechanisms in these systems are poorly understood.\nIn this study, lab-scale algal bioreactors were used to simulate algae-based wastewater treatment. Concentrations of carbamazepine, ibuprofen, gemfibrozil, and triclosan were monitored in these reactors alongside controls designed to isolate and elucidate removal processes. Ibuprofen was primarily treated by biotransformation, which was dependent on interactions of algae with the bacteria and media. Triclosan was rapidly phototransformed, though there was evidence of biodegradation or sorption. There was no evidence of carbamazepine and gemfibrozil treatment in algae-based wastewater systems. \nBased on the results of these experiments, algae can facilitate PPCP removal in passive water treatment systems. Further research on PPCP removal in these systems should be focused on the interactions between bacteria, algae, and media.

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
