- Abstract:
- Accurate determination of the levels of organic and inorganic nitrogen in environmental waters is essential to understanding global nitrogen balance and atmospheric inputs to the marine environment. This project will develop a rapid and convenient flow-injection analysis system for measuring ammonia and urea contents of water samples with sensitivity down to sub-micrometer M levels. Once established it can be extended to include amino acids and nitrate/nitrite. The system will be designed to be portable, for use on ships or at remote locations, and could be miniaturised for autonomous operation. this will lead to a system capable of measuring a variety of organic N species in situ, providing temporal as well as spatial data for the first time.
