Water quality — Determination of nitrate — Part 2: 4-Fluorophenol spectrometric method after distillation

Procedure given is applicable to the direct analysis of potable and raw water, but is particularly intended for polluted waters and saline waters. The range covers a nitrat nitrogen concentration up to 45 mg/l using a 5 ml test portion, and a cell of path length 10 mm. A concentration of 0,22 mg/l can be detected. Potential interferences from nitrite and chloride are removed, certain substances may distil over and colour the distillate.
