Abstract
A simple and rapid procedure has been developed for ammonium nitrogen deter mination in wastewater. A peroxodisulfate/far UV photooxidation step is use d both in acidic and alkaline conditions for the specific conversion of amm onium into nitrate. Nitrate concentration is then measured with UV spectrop hotometry. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
