ABSTRACT

AMMONIA NITROGEN CAN BE DETERMINED IN POTABLE, SURFACE, AND

SALINE WATERS AS WELL AS DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERS
WHEN PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT IS MADE AT 630 TO 660 NM IN A 10 TO
50-MM TUBULAR FLOW CELL AT RATES OF UP TO 60 SAMPLES/HOUR. THE
PHENATE METHOD IS THE MOST POPULAR SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD
TO MEASURE CONCENTRATION OF AMMONIA ANALYSIS IN WATER SAMPLES
FROM DIFFERENT SAMPLING POINTS. IT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED THAT
THE WATER SAMPLE FROM THE ORCHIDS STREET OF THE ASIN-GALIANO
RIVER HAS A HIGH AMMONIA CONTENT. USING THE GIVEN CALIBRATION
CURVE AND THE INDEPHENOL TECHNIQUE, THE CONCENTRATION OF NH4-
mg/L SAMPLES IS DETERMINED.
