Nitrite and nitrate+nitrite can be determined by selective chemical reduction to nitric oxide which is measured using a chemiluminescence analyser. The reducing agents are sodium iodide in acetic acid for nitrite and ferrous ammonium sulphate-ammonium molybdate for nitrate+nitrite. The concentrations of the reducing agents have been optimized to obtain the maximum yield of nitric oxide and the minimum coefficient of variation. Under these conditions, it is possible to inject repeated samples into the refluxing reducing agents and to obtain rapid evolutions of nitric oxide from which the determinations can be made. Nitric oxide has also been produced using the nitrite reagents from organic nitrites, a S-nitrosothiol, a pseudonitrole and N-nitrosamines. Similarly, an organic nitrate and some C-nitroso compounds respond to the method for nitrate but only to the extent of a yield of nitric oxide of about 10% of the theoretical. Very low or zero responses were evident from aliphatic and aromatic C-nitro compounds but not ω-?-nitroarginine which gave a large yield of nitric oxide using the reagents for nitrate. In general, however, concentrations of nitrate will be in considerable excess of those of related compounds which would interfere with the determinations. Nitrate can be determined either by difference in its mixtures with nitrite or by prior removal of the nitrite using ascorbic acid provided oxygen and nitric oxide are removed by degassing with nitrogen. |
