Abstract
⺠Biosorbents may release organic colloids that interact strongly with trace metals. ⺠Ignoring colloid-bound metals may bias distribution coefficient calculations. ⺠Distribution coefficients can be corrected with a multi-site Langmuir isotherm. ⺠Ultra-filtration should become routine practice in all metal biosorption studies. ⺠Colloid release may cause premature break-through of packed-bed biosorbent columns.
