A New Method for Determination of Total Nitrogen in Aqueous Samples
- 1. 1 / 27 A New Method for the Determination of Total Nitrogen in Aqueous Samples William Lipps Analytical Measuring Instrument Division Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, Md., USA
- 2. 22 / 27 Current EPA Definition for Total Nitrogen Requires Two Methods Measure TKN Measure NO3/NO2-N TN
- 3. 33 / 27 Must Use 40 CFR Part 136 Methods for CWA Reporting • Manual digestion! • Manual distillation! • Nessler, IC, titration, ISE, phenate! TKN Methods! • Manual digestion! • Automated distillation/diffusion! • Direct colorimetry! TKN Methods! • IC, reduction colorimetry! NO3/NO2 –N Methods!
- 4. 44 / 27 The “Classical” Kjeldahl Reactions Distilled and Titrated Ammonia Digestion • H2SO4 + 2(NH2)2CO - (NH4)2SO4 +2 CO2 Distillation • (NH4)2SO4 + NaOH - NaHSO4 + H2O + 2NH3 Capture • H2SO4 + 2NH3 - (NH4)2SO4 + H2O Titration • H2SO4 + NaOH - NaHSO4 + H2O
- 5. 55 / 27 Present Day TKN Methods Can Either Distill (Diffuse) or Measure NH4 + in the Matrix Manual Digestion • H2SO4 + (NH2)2CO - (NH4)2SO4 + 2CO2 • Must use catalyst Distillation (required for some methods) • (NH)4SO4 + NaOH - NaHSO4 +H2O + 2NH3 Detection • Titration, ISE, manual colorimetry, automated colorimetry
- 6. 66 / 27 Kjeldahl Method! Substance + Conc. H2SO4 + CuSO4 + K2SO4 Image: Wikipedia 1 Liter RB Flask Water out Water in Conical Flask
- 7. 77 / 27 Operational Comparison of TKN Methods Manual Digestion Distillation Followed By:! Require Final Digest Volume! Require Final Distillate Volume! Titration! no! no! Ion Selective Electrode! no! yes! Manual Phenate! no! yes! Automated Phenate ! no! yes! Block Digestion! Automated Salicylate! yes! N/A!
- 8. 88 / 27 Techniques for Analysis of Total Nitrogen (EPA Only Approves TKN)! Manual Digestion Distillation Followed By:! MDL (mg/L)! Titration! 1.0 ! Manual Phenate! 0.05 ?! Ion Selective Electrode! 0.03! Automated Phenate! 0.01! Block Digestion! Automated Salicylate! 0.1! Auto-GD/pH colorimetry! 0.2! Auto-GD/Salicylate! 0.02!
- 9. 99 / 27 Some Problems With TKN Method for TN Time consuming – 0.5 – 2 hour digestion • Separate distillation and/or analysis Uses hazardous reagents • Boiling sulfuric acid • Metal catalyst Must run NO3 + NO2 separately Not applicable to all N compounds
- 10. 1100 / 27 TKN Recovery in Various N Compounds
- 11. 1111 / 27 New Method is Needed That Measures Total Nitrogen As Single Result Organic Nitrogen! NH3-N! NOx-N! TN! This method can be a lab or online method
- 12. 1122 / 27 Any New Method for TN Should… Obtain equivalent results to TKN and other TN methods Be “rugged” Use few reagents Have a large dynamic range Sample/”handle” a complex matrix
- 13. 1133 / 27 Total Nitrogen Can Be Easily Measured on TOC Analyzer Catalytic Combustion (CC) • 2(NH2)2CO +5O2 + catalyst à 4NO + 4H2O + CO2 Ozonation • NO + O3 à NO2 + O2! • NO + O3 à NO2* + O2! Detection NO2* à NO2 + light !
- 14. 14 / 27 TOC + TN Analyzer!
- 15. 15 / 27 Schematic of TOC + TN Analyzer TN Analysis
