Partition and selectivity coefficients for PMs and M-PMs.

Comparing Composition	M-PMs			PMs			K0
	Ce (mg/L)	Kd (L/g)	k′	Ce (mg/L)	Kd (L/g)	k′
MG	0.94	2.687		1.14	2.081
RA	2.69	0.404	6.6	2.85	0.335	6.2	1.07
BY	2.72	0.236	11.3	3.25	0.190	10.9	1.03

Note: test conditions—at 35 °C, pH 7, initial dye concentration = 5 mg/L, dosage of microspheres = 0.03 g, and volume of the mixed solution = 25 mL.
