Determination of Nitrogen Fractions - Comments Ammonium and Nitrate
Pretreatment and losses of analytes Extraction conditions: Reference to preatreatment study and „interferences and errors“ Changed: fresh samples extracted in one step in 1M KCl, different ratios for soil (1:5) and sludge and treated biowaste (1:20-1:80) Measure an aliquot of the filtrate or supernatant Comments
Other Comments • Use of other extractants (AUST): water, CaCl2 (0,02M), 2,5 M KCl • Dialysis step for purification from humic acids (NEN) • Comparison to Recovery in prEN 14671 (FIN)
