1.1This test method is applicable for the analysis total nitrogen (organic nitrogen + ammonia-N + nitrate-N + nitrite-N) as nitrate and total phosphorus as orthophosphate in unfiltered water samples by alkaline persulfate digestion followed by ion chromatography (IC).
1.2Total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) is determined by the calculation. To determine TKN subtract the nitrate-N and nitrite-N in a digested sample from a non-digested sample (see Section 4, Summary of Test Method).
1.3The limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), and reporting range in Table 1 are based on the two-step process for this test method: digestion and analytical step. Because the digestion step requires a sample dilution, the LOD and LOQ are higher than undigested samples. The reporting range, LOD, and LOQ can be modified and perhaps improved depending on several factors (see Section 6, Interferences).
1.4The method detection limits (MDL) are shown for reference. The digestion reagent contains background nitrate and results in higher detection limits. MDL will be shown after the interlaboratory study (ILS) is completed.
1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
