Abstract: The application discloses a processing method for graphite acid purification wastewater which comprises processing steps of neutralization and precipitation preprocessing, supernatant electrically distilling and vaporizing, electric energy recycling, condensate recycling and vaporization residue regularly discharging. The processing method performs neutralization and precipitation preprocessing to obtain neutralized supernatant, pumps the supernatant into an electric distiller to be vaporized and obtain electric energy for recycling through steam turbine, and acquires vaporization condensate by residual heat exchange. The vaporization condensate reaches the standard of graphite acid purification impurities such as fluorine, chlorine, aluminum, silicon, iron, magnesium, copper, and zinc and the wastewater discharge standard. The steam heat energy can be recycled and transformed into electric energy to save processing cost.

Abstract: In implementations of image-based searches for templates, a computing device implements a search system to generate an embedding vector that represents an input digital image using a machine learning model. The search system identifies templates that include a candidate digital image to be replaced by the input digital image based on distances between embedding vector representations of the templates and the embedding vector that represents the input digital image.
