Spectrophotometric Determination of Niatrite in Environmental Samples Using a New Reagent System

Pages 153-158 | Received 10 Feb 1990, Published online: 23 Sep 2006
 

Abstract

A sensitive and rapid spectrophotometric method has been investigated for the trace determination of nitrite in potable and polluted water. The method is based on the Griess reaction in which nitrite is diazotised with sulphadiazine in acid medium and then coupled with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to give a purple coloured azo dye, having λmax at 545 nm and a molar absorptivity of 6.9 × 104 1.mol−1 cm−1. The proposed reagent system has also been used as spot reaction for the qualitative determination of nitrite in effluents (limit of identification, 0.025 μg).
