Isopropanoli-solvent evamile ephilayo, eyaziwa nangokuthi isopropyl alcohol noma i-2-propanol.Isetshenziswa kabanzi embonini, kwezokwelapha, kwezolimo nakweminye imikhakha.Kodwa-ke, abantu abaningi bavame ukudidanisa i-isopropanol ne-ethanol, i-methanol nezinye izinhlanganisela eziphilayo eziguquguqukayo ngenxa yezakhiwo nezakhiwo zabo ezifanayo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela bakholelwa ngephutha ukuthi i-isopropanol nayo iyingozi empilweni yomuntu futhi kufanele ivinjelwe.Eqinisweni, akunjalo.

Okokuqala, isopropanol inobuthi obuphansi.Nakuba ingamuncwa esikhumbeni noma ihogele emoyeni, inani le-isopropanol elidingekayo ukuze kudale umonakalo omkhulu empilweni kubantu liphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa.Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-isopropanol ine-flash point ephakeme kakhulu kanye nezinga lokushisa lokushisa, futhi ingozi yomlilo yayo iphansi kakhulu.Ngakho-ke, ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, i-isopropanol ayibeki usongo olukhulu empilweni yomuntu nokuphepha.

Okwesibili, i-isopropanol inezicelo ezibalulekile embonini, ezokwelapha, ezolimo nakweminye imikhakha.Embonini yamakhemikhali, iyisiphakathi esibalulekile sokuhlanganiswa kwezinhlanganisela ezihlukahlukene ze-organic nezidakamizwa.Emkhakheni wezokwelapha, ngokuvamile isetshenziswa njengesibulala-magciwane nesibulala-magciwane.Emkhakheni wezolimo, isetshenziswa njengesibulala-zinambuzane kanye nokulawula ukukhula kwezitshalo.Ngakho-ke, ukuvinjelwa kwe-isopropanol kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu ekukhiqizeni nasekusetshenzisweni kwalezi zimboni.

Okokugcina, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi i-isopropanol kufanele isetshenziswe kahle futhi igcinwe ngokuvumelana nemithetho efanele ukuze kugwenywe izingozi zokuphepha ezingase zibe khona.Lokhu kudinga ukuthi abaqhubi babe nolwazi namakhono ochwepheshe, kanye nezinyathelo eziqinile zokulawula ukuphepha ekukhiqizeni nasekusetshenzisweni.Uma lezi zinyathelo zingenziwanga ngendlela efanele, kungase kube nezingozi ezingaba khona zokuphepha.Ngakho-ke, esikhundleni sokuvimbela i-isopropanol, kufanele siqinise ukuphathwa kokuphepha nokuqeqeshwa ekukhiqizeni nasekusetshenzisweni ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukusetshenziswa okuphephile kwe-isopropanol.

Sengiphetha, nakuba i-isopropanol inezingozi ezithile zezempilo kanye nomthelela wemvelo lapho isetshenziswa ngendlela engafanele, inezinhlelo zokusebenza ezibalulekile embonini, kwezokwelapha, kwezolimo nakweminye imikhakha.Ngakho-ke, akufanele sivimbele i-isopropanol ngaphandle kwesisekelo sesayensi.Kufanele siqinise ucwaningo lwesayensi nokukhangisa, sithuthukise izindlela zokuphatha ukuphepha ekukhiqizeni nasekusetshenzisweni, ukuze ukusetshenziswa ngokuphepha kwe-isopropanol emikhakheni ehlukahlukene.
