The Kd of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) on activated carbon (AC) was larger than that of SMX on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SC), but the competition of SMX with carbamazepine (CBZ) for adsorption sites was weaker on AC than SC. Thus, a large Kd value does not necessarily reflect a high affinity. The analysis of the apparent sorption, competition, desorption hysteresis, and the sorption thermodynamics for SMX and CBZ did not provide sufficient information to distinguish their sorption affinities. The release of the adsorbed CBZ was not altered with SMX as the competitor, but SMX release increased significantly after CBZ addition. The higher sorption affinity of CBZ may be explained by the interactions of the CBZ benzene rings with the aromatic structures of the adsorbents. Although the thermodynamic meaning cannot be described, the release ratio of the adsorbed pollutants provides useful information for understanding pollutant sorption strength and associated risks.
