Method for proportioning nitrates and/or nitrites in a neutral medium |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for proportioning nitrate and/or nitrite ions in a solution using a copper electrode, said method being characterized in that it is carried out in constant potential mode and moreover in that it includes the steps of: i. applying a first potential to the copper electrode so as to reduce the copper oxides present on the surface of the metal copper electrode; ii. applying a second potential to the copper electrode so as to oxidize the metal copper formed in Step i into cupric ions; iii. applying a third potential to the copper electrode so as to reduce the copper oxides possibly formed in Step ii. Steps i through iii being carried out in a support electrolyte; and iv. proportioning the nitrate and/or nitrite ions of a solution to be analyzed by means of immersing the copper electrode, obtained in Step iii, in said solution to be analyzed while applying a fourth potential to the copper electrode so as to reduce the nitrate and/or nitrite ions, the support electrolyte of Steps i through iii, and the solution to be analyzed in Step iv, having a substantially neutral pH. |

1. A method for titrating nitrate and/or nitrite ions in solution using a copper electrode, said method being carried out in potentiostatic mode and in including the stages consisting in:
i. applying a first potential to the copper electrode, so as to reduce the copper oxides present at the surface of the electrode to copper metal, ii. applying a second potential to the copper electrode, so as to oxidize the copper metal formed in stage i to give cupric ions, iii. applying a third potential to the copper electrode, so as to reduce the copper oxides possibly formed in stage ii, stages i to iii being carried out in a supporting electrolyte, and iv. titrating the nitrate and/or nitrite ions of a solution to be analyzed, by immersion of the copper electrode obtained in stage iii in said solution to be analyzed, a fourth potential being applied to the copper electrode so as to reduce the nitrate and/or nitrite ions, the supporting electrolyte of stages i to iii and the solution to be analyzed of stage iv having a substantially neutral pH. |
