abstract = {Veterinary antibiotics like sulfadiazine (SDZ) are used in
large amounts worldwide. Excreted as parent compounds or in
the form of metabolites they reach agricultural soils mainly
via spreading of manure or sewage sludge and may be
transported to the groundwater. Recently, antibiotics have
been detected in several environmental compartments leading
to an increasing concern about their hazardous effects. To
asses the leaching potential of SDZ from soils into
groundwater, knowledge on its transport processes in soils
is necessary. Also the transport of its metabolites as well
as possible transformation processes have to be considered.
In this work transport experiments at the column scale were
performed. Therefore, SDZ and pig manure were used to
analyze the governing processes that affect the transport of
SDZ in disturbed and undisturbed soil columns of a loamy
sand and a silty loam. For this purpose the Hydrus model
(Šimůnek et al., 2008) has been adapted and applied to the
observed BTCs and resident concentrations. The occurrence of
transformation products in the outflow of repacked soil
columns of both soils was investigated in experiments with a
SDZ-solution. For the prediction of the
$^{14}$C-distribution in the repacked soil columns,
empirical approaches to describe irreversible sorption were
tested. Furthermore the influence of flow rate and
concentration/applied mass on SDZ transport was investigated
and the respective experiments were simultaneously described
with a common set of parameters. In transport experiments
with pig manure, the effect of pig manure on the transport
of SDZ as well as the transport behavior of the main
metabolites of SDZ present in pig manure, N-Ac-SDZ and
4-OH-SDZ, were investigated. Without considering a known
photo-degradation product transformation was very low in
both investigated soils. In soil columns where most of the
$^{14}$C was found near the soil surface, the prediction of
the $^{14}$C-concentration profiles was improved by applying
two empirical models other than first-order to predict
irreversible sorption. The application of SDZ at a higher
flow rate led to higher eluted masses and concentrations
compared to experiments conducted at a lower flow rate. The
simultaneous fitting process with a three site
attachment/detachment model revealed that although the same
sorption mechanisms seem to occur in all experiments, their
characteristic time scales were different, especially under
transient flow conditions. As the main difference between
experiments with manure and SDZ-solution an accumulation of
$^{14}$C in the upper soil layer was found in the
experiments with manure. The modeling process revealed a
high mobility of both SDZ and its transformation products.
While the transformation of N-Ac-SDZ into SDZ was fast and
no extended tailing of N-Ac-SDZ was observed, the transport
behavior of 4-OH-SDZ was similar to SDZ.},
