Methods

Nitrite, an intermediate in the nitrogen cycle, is formed during the decomposition of organic matter but readily oxidizes to form nitrate. These processes occur in wastewater treatment plants, water distribution systems, and natural waters. Nitrites are useful as corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, pigments, and in manufacturing many organic preservative chemicals. A Maximum Contaminant Level of 1 mg/L has been established by the USEPA for nitrite-nitrogen in drinking water.

Azo Dye Formation Method

Reference: APHA Standard Methods, 20th. ed., pp.4-112, Method 4500-NO2¯B (1998). USEPA Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, Method 354.1 (1983).

Test kits containing CHEMets®, VACUettes®, or Vacu-vials® ampoules are based on a colorimetric chemistry in which nitrite reacts to form a pink azo dye. The intensity of the color is directly proportional to the concentration of nitrite in the sample. Nitrate will not interfere. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) NO2-N.

The Ceric Sulfate Titrimetric Method

Reference: Developed by CHEMetrics, Inc.

CHEMetrics’ method is particularly applicable to systems that contain nitrite corrosion inhibitors in the presence of glycol. Ceric sulfate is the titrant and ferroin is the end point indicator. The method is free from glycol interference in samples that contain up to 75% glycol. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) NaNO2.
