Characterization of different forms of nitrogen in liquid fertilizers with UDK169 automatic distillation and titration system
26 Oct 2023In this application note, VELP Scientifica outlines methods for determining different forms of nitrogen in liquid fertilizers. The methods involve specific procedures using substances like magnesium oxide, Devarda’s alloy, and urease solution. These processes liberate ammonia from various nitrogen sources in the fertilizer. The automatic and simultaneous distillation and titration steps, facilitated by systems like UDK169, provide comprehensive results, including ammonia nitrogen.

KjeldahlKjeldahl is an analytical chemistry technique for the quantitation of nitrogen in chemical substances. Applications of Kjeldahl include analyzing the protein content of food, nitrogen analysis in environmental sciences and the pharmaceutical industry and total kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate and ammonia analyses in agricultural sciences.TitrationTitration is an analytical technique for determining substance concentration in a solution. For titration consider a manual or automated system, volumetric or coulometric reagent addition and indication by a potentiometer, spectrometer, turbidometer or by the Karl Fischer method. Other features of titration to consider include burettes, reagents, concentration range, reaction time and autosamplers.DistillationNitrogen
