Abstract

An automated system for the analysis of dissolved organic nitrogen has been developed and applied to natural waters. It is based on subjecting sample to u.v. irradiation followed by a heterogeneous reduction of the nitrogen containing irradiation products to ammonia which is detected by an ammonia gas sensing probe. Quantitative recoveries of different organic nitrogen compounds common to natural waters were obtained after 17 min of irradiation. Determination with and without irradiation make possible the separate determination of total and inorganic nitrogen, respectively.
