A　composite　model　of　the　membrane　cleaning　was　proposed　for　considering　the　irreversible　process　(swelling　process)　and　the　reversible　process　(dissolution　and　deposition　processes).　This　model　has　been　developed　by　considering　the　mass　variation　of　the　foulants　at　different　stages　(swelling,　dissolution　and　deposition).　It　can　be　used　to　predict　the　instantaneous　fouling　resistance　in　the　hydraulic　cleaning　process.　The　effect　of　the　interaction　energy　(between　foulants　and　the　membrane)　on　the　model　parameters　(swelling,　dissolution　and　deposition　rate　constants　of　foulants)　was　systematically　investigated.　The　results　showed　that　the　model　predictions　were　in　good　agreement　with　experimental　data　(R-2＞0.9900).　Its　corresponding　accuracy　(sigma　=　0.92%)　was　higher　than　that　of　Matzinos＇s　model　(sigma　=　3.56%)　and　Wang＇s　model　(sigma　=　4.39%).　Meanwhile,　the　smaller　attractive　interaction　energy　(2.01　x　10(3)kT)　results　in　the　larger　swelling　and　dissolution　rate　constants,　and　benefits　to　reach　a　higher　flux　recovery　rate　(90%).　In　addition,　the　proposed　model　also　can　use　to　select　the　optimum　cleaning　condition　for　the　hydraulic　cleaning　process.
