Ultrasonic cleaning is an alternative promising method to control the membrane fouling. At present, the urgent task of further promoting its application is to establish a model to predict the instantaneous membrane flux. In this study, a new model was proposed by considering the power intensity and temperature, and the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism was revealed with ultrasonic cavitation theory and extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory. Results showed that the predictions of the model were in good agreement with the experimental data (sigma < 1.23%) for the polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouled with humic acid (HA) and its accuracy was higher for the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) UF membrane (sigma < 0.72%) or actual sewage (sigma < 1.18%). Meanwhile, the HA cake resistance was removed 79.10 similar to 88.91% and the corresponding available membrane area increased 0.42-0.57 times within 1 min, and the membrane flux recovery (FR) could be reached to 91.07% within 5 min (100 W and 30 degrees C). In addition, the main mechanism of ultrasonic cleaning was that the kinetic energy of the ultrasonic cavitation microjet (6.28 x10(-10) J) was much bigger than the interaction energy between the HA foulants and the membrane surface (7.92 x10(-13) J).
