Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The existing on-site treatment of residual 2-propanol (IPA) in semiconductor factories results in evaporation into the atmosphere, causing cross-contamination of water and air pollution. Various treatment technologies have been assessed, but many either generate pollution or cannot recover IPA. Alternatively, IPA undergoes oxidation during distillation, transforming into acetone, another substance regulated under wastewater treatment standards. This study explored electrochemical oxidation (EO) as a method for selectively mineralizing IPA in wastewater. The high flow rate and complex byproducts of IPA wastewater necessitate advanced approaches for efficient treatment. Employing a well-enclosed EO reactor, this research characterized radical and active chlorine species in depth, elucidating their composition, mechanisms, and roles in removing IPA and its intermediates. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were identified as the most reactive species, as they fully removed IPA in 5 h in a chloride-free system. The introduction of electrogenerated active chlorine species proved to be highly efficient for treatment, especially in a 150 mM NaCl electrolyte at an initial pH of 5, which is suitable for wastewater containing high chlorine concentrations. This approach not only effectively mitigates acetone generation but also enhances IPA mineralization, presenting a viable treatment option without the need for additional chemicals.

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.
