β¦ Synopsis
Nitrite reacts with 3-nitroaniline in the presence of hydrochloric acid to form a diazonium cation, which is subsequently coupled with N-(1-naphtyl)ethylenediammonium chloride to form a stable purple azo dye. The method is suitable for the determination of 0.01-0.80 pg ml-' nitrite. The reactions are very fast and require no control of temperature.
The observed molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of the azo dye are 4.9 x lo4 1 mol-' cm-' and 9.4 X 10m4 ng cm-*, respectively.
The method is free from most interferences. The method has been applied successfully to polluted river water.

A water-soluble porphyrin having the aminophenyl group, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphine, reacts with nitrite ion, and produces a large spectral change (k=3.0x IO5 1 molP' cm-', 434 nm). There are few interfering substances and it is easy to establish the reaction conditions because the s
A direct spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of nitrate and nitrite by column preconcentration has been developed. Nitrate is reduced to nitrite in a copper-coated cadmium column which is then treated with azo dye reagent by column preconcentration, and the absorbance due to
