Determination of Nitrate in Sea Water by Cadmium-copper Reduction to Nitrite*
نویسنده
چکیده
An accurate, dependable determination of 0-60 ,ug-at./l. of NOs -N in sea water has been developed. The sample is treated with tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution and passed through a column of copperized cadmium filings. A nearly quantitative reduction of nitrate to nitrite results. Nitrite is then determined by a diazotization method. Neither sulphide nor high nitrite concentrations interferes. Approximately eight samples per hour per column can be analysed with a standard deviation of 0'12 ,ug-at./l. at the 20 ,ug-at./l. level.

Determination of nitrate by suppressed ion chromatography after copperised-cadmium column reduction.
The nitrate-selective copperised-cadmium (Cu-Cd) reduction reaction coupled directly to the highly sensitive nitrite ion chromatographic detection, produced a more precise method for determination of nitrate than any one of the two conventional methods. A borate buffer solution used in the reduction reaction, in place of the conventional ammonium-EDTA buffer solution, eliminated interferences f...
متن کاملSimultaneous spectrophotometric determination of nitrite and nitrate by flow-injection analysis.
An automatic direct spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate by flow-injection analysis has been developed. Nitrite reacts with 3-nitroaniline in the presence of hydrochloric acid (0.96-1.8 M HCl or pH 0.5-0.7) to form a diazonium cation, which is subsequently coupled with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form a stable purple azo dye, ...
متن کاملDetermination of Nitrite and Nitrate in Natural Waters Using Flow Injection with Spectrophotometric Detection
A simple and sensitive flow injection spectrophotometric method is reported for the room temperature determination of nitrite and nitrate based on the Griess reaction and a copperised cadmium column for reduction of nitrate. Calibration graphs were linear over the range 2 – 1000 μg N L (R = 0.9997 and 0.9999, n = 9) with a limit of detection (3 s.d.) of 1.0 μg N L and relative standard deviatio...
متن کاملSequential Injection Determination of Nitrate in Vegetables by Spectrophotometry with Inline Cadmium Reduction
A sequential injection system for the determination of nitrate (NO3 ) in vegetables was developed to automate this determination, allowing for substantially reduced reagent consumption and generated waste using low-cost equipment. After extraction with water and filtration, the extracted nitrate is reduced inline to nitrite in a copperized cadmium (Cd) column and determined as nitrite. Accordin...
متن کاملSimple flow-injection system for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate in water samples.
A novel spectrophotometric reaction system was developed for the determination of nitrite as well as nitrate in water samples, and was applied to a flow-injection analysis (FIA). The spectrophotometric flow-injection system coupled with a copperised cadmium reductor column was proposed. The detection was based on the nitrosation reaction between nitrite ion and phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxyb...
