abstract = {Based on small-scale laboratory and field-scale lysimeter
experiments, the sorption and biodegradation of sulfonamide
sulfadiazine (SDZ) were investigated in unsaturated sandy
and silty-clay soils. Sorption and biodegradation were low
in the laboratory, while the highest leaching rates were
observed when SDZ was mixed with manure. The leaching rate
decreased when SDZ was mixed with pure water, and was
smallest with the highest SDZ concentrations. In the
laboratory, three transformation products (TPs) developed
after an initial lag phase. However, the amount of TPs was
different for different mixing-scenarios. The TP
2-aminopyrimidine was not observed in the laboratory, but
was the most prevalent TP at the field scale. Sorption was
within the same range at the laboratory and field scales.
However, distinctive differences occurred with respect to
biodegradation, which was higher in the field lysimeters
than at the laboratory scale. While the silty-clay soil
favored sorption of SDZ, the sandy, and thus highly
permeable, soil was characterized by short half-lives and
thus a quick biodegradation of SDZ. For 2-aminopyrimidine,
half-lives of only a few days were observed. Increased
field-scale biodegradation in the sandy soil resulted from a
higher water and air permeability that enhanced oxygen
transport and limited oxygen depletion. Furthermore, low pH
was more important than the organic matter and clay content
for increasing the biodegradation of SDZ. A numerical
analysis of breakthrough curves of bromide, SDZ, and its TPs
showed that preferential flow pathways strongly affected the
solute transport within shallow parts of the soil profile at
the field scale. However, this effect was reduced in deeper
parts of the soil profile. Due to high field-scale
biodegradation in several layers of both soils, neither SDZ
nor 2-aminopyrimidine was detected in the discharge of the
lysimeter at a depth of 1 m. Synthetic 50 year long
simulations, which considered the application of manure with
SDZ for general agricultural practices in Germany and humid
climate conditions, showed that the concentration of SDZ
decreased below 0.1 μg/L in both soils below the depth of
50 cm.},
