Popis: Mesoporous carbons (MCs) exhibit excellent removal efficiencies to various organic chemicals. However, how the properties of chemicals influence the adsorption mechanisms and further determine their adsorption onto MCs are poorly understood. We investigated the adsorption of 22 sulfonamides (SAs) onto four MCs, and further uncovered the major molecular descriptors and adsorption mechanisms influencing the adsorption by density functional theory (DFT) and partial least-squares path modeling (PLS-PM). The results revealed that the excess molar refraction (E), McGowan's molar volume (V), energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E
