  • Publication number: 20180162747
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating hydroxyl radical and removing organic pollutants in water by utilizing an organic membrane. The inventive method generates hydroxyl radical by adopting a nitrocellulose membrane as a photocatalytic material, placing the nitrocellulose membrane in water, illuminating with the sun or a sunlamp having a wavelength above 280 nm as a light source, and causing the nitrocellulose membrane to undergo a photochemical reaction at the membrane surface, and the generation rate of hydroxyl radical can be achieved by adjusting the surface area of the membrane and a light intensity. The generated hydroxyl radical can remove phenol, bisphenol A, thiamphenicol and other typical organic pollutants in water very well.

  • Publication number: 20180143887
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes example service takeover methods, storage devices, and service takeover apparatuses. In one example, when a communication fault occurs between two storage devices in a storage system, the two storage devices respectively obtain running statuses of the two storage devices. A running status can reflect current usage of one or more system resources of a particular storage device. Then, a delay duration is determined according to the running statuses, where the delay duration is a duration for which the storage device waits before sending an arbitration request to a quorum server. The two storage devices respectively send, after the delay duration, arbitration requests to the quorum server to request to take over a service. The quorum server then can select a storage device in a relatively better running status to take over a host service.
