Poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly‐(EGDMA‐HEMA)]microbeads in the size range of 150–200 μm were produced by a modified suspension copolymerization of EGDMA and HEMA. The dyes (Congo red, Cibacron blue F3GA, and alkali blue 6B) were covalently immobilized; then, Zn(II) ions were incorporated within the microbeads by chelation with the dye molecules. The maximum amounts of dye loadings were 14.5 μmol/g, 16.5 μmol/g, and 23.7 μmol/g for Congo red, Cibacron blue F3GA, and alkali blue 6B, respectively. Different amounts of Zn(II) ions(2.9–53.8 mg/g polymer) were incorporated on the microbeads by changing the initial concentration of Zn(II) ions and the pH of the medium. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption onto dye/Zn(II)‐derived microbeads containing Congo red, Cibacron blue F3GA, and alkali blue 6B was investigated. The maximum BSA adsorptions onto the dye/Zn(II)‐derived microbeads from aqueous solutions containing different amounts of BSA were 159 mg/g, 122 mg/g, and 93 mg/g for the Congo red, Cibacron blue F3GA, and alkali blue 6B dyes, respectively. The maximum BSA adsorptions were observed at pH 6.0 in all cases. Desorption of BSA molecules was achieved by using 0.025 M EDTA (pH 4.9). High desorption ratios (more than 93% of the adsorbed BSA) were observed in all cases. It was possible to reuse these novel metal chelate sorbents without significant losses in their adsorption capacities. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 65: 2085–2093, 1997
