Methods are presented here for the determination of nitrate by electrochemical techniques. The reaction of nitrate with various organic reagents was studied by differential pulse polarography and a method described based on the nitration of benzoic acid. A rectilinear response was obtained over a 10-6 to 5x10-3M concentration range with reproducibility of < 2% at higher nitrate concentrations. [Continues.]
