APPLICATION: swimming pools, drinking water, surface and saline
waters
RANGE: 0.00 – 80.0 ppm nitrate
MDL: 2 ppm
METHOD: Zinc is used to reduce nitrate to nitrite. The nitrite that
was originally present, plus the reduced nitrate, reacts
with chromotropic acid to form a red color in proportion
to the amount of nitrite in the sample.
SAMPLE HANDLING
& PRESERVATION:
Analysis should be made as soon as possible. If
analysis cannot be made within 24 hours, the sample
should be refrigerated at 4°C. When samples must be
stored for more than 24 hours, add 2 mL of concentrated
sulfuric acid per liter of sample. For best results, the
analysis for nitrate should be determined at temperatures
between 20°C and 25°C.
INTERFERENCES: Nitrite interferes at all concentrations. Strong oxidizing
and reducing substances interfere. Low results might be
obtained for samples that contain high concentrations of
copper and iron.
