Alginate, a linear copolymer, is composed of 1,4-linked β-d-mannuronic acid (M) and α-l-guluronic acid (G), which are combined into homopolymeric blocks (MM-block and GG-block) and heteropolymeric block (MG-block). It has been widely used as a model foulant in various studies of membrane fouling, th...
