monensin and goethite

Monensin, an ionophore antibiotic, is commonly administered as a feed additive to cattle and poultry. A large percentage of the administered dose is excreted in animal waste, which is often applied to agricultural fields as fertilizer. The objective of this work is to gain insight into the fate of monensin in soil by investigating the interactions between monensin and common soil minerals, including sorption and transformation to unmonitored partial oxidation products. Batch sorption experiments across varying conditions (i.e., pH, ionic strength) and desorption experiments (i.e., methanol, PO
