Response to Comment on 'Adsorption and Desorption of Oxytetracycline and Carbanazepine by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes'

摘要

We thank Drs. Bui and Choi for their interest in our paper. In their comment on our paper (1) regarding oxytetracycline (OTC) and carbamazepine (CBZ) sorption and desorption by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), Bui and Choi (2) made some interesting remarks. These remarks can be summarized in three main points (ⅰ) compounds properties, (ⅱ) pK_a values of carbamazepine and possible mechanism of CBZ interaction with MWCNTs, and (ⅲ) effect of calcium ions on OTC sorption by MWCNTs. We appreciate the comments and suggestions given by Bui and Choi (2). We offer the following responses to the comments.
