## Abstract A process is described for the use of titanium dioxide as a catalyst in the Kjeldahl determination of total nitrogen, in the place of the efficient, but highly toxic mercuric oxide. The titanium dioxide is incorporated into a catalyst mixture with cupric sulphate and potassium sulphate
Increased demand for determinations of nitrogen (N), and hence crude protein (CP), has led to wider use of the Dumas method in place of the traditional Kjeldahl methods. Although Kjeldahl N (KN) and Dumas N (DN) represent di β erent N fractions, published studies on infant formula, animal feed and me
The determination of nitrogen in nitro, nitroso, and azo compounds by the direct application of Kieldahl's method leads to low results, particularly when the content of nitrogen attached to oxygen exceeds lOΒ°/o 1 . Many reagents have, therefore, been suggested for reduction of these types of nitroge
