TL;DR: A recommended evaluating method using logarithmic removal rate as an index and E. coli as a reference strain is proposed in this review based on the summary of the current evaluating methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection on reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling was investigated and the mechanism was also revealed in this study. And the morphology of the fouled RO membranes indicated serious biofouling in all groups.

TL;DR: A novel time-course model was established, which could predict the flux change of RO membranes over time only with SA concentrations, and the synergic effect between SA and BSA on RO membrane fouling was directly quantified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of chlorine disinfection on biofouling in a pilot-scale reverse osmosis (RO) system was investigated and it was found that chlorine pretreatment caused a 1.9-36.7% increase in relative feed water pressure of the RO system, suggesting that chlorine aggravated the membrane fouling.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors summarized 46 full-and 17 pilot-scale DTRO applications in China from the literature and found that the cumulative reported DLO application scale in wastewater treatment amounted to ~16,500 m3/d by 2020 in China.
