How To Detect Ammonia In Water
Method for detecting ammonia in water
Anyone who wants to know the presence and amount of ammonia in water must have a method to measure it.
First: Use a chemical reagent
to take an appropriate amount of water and place it in a purifier. Insert the Enel's reagent into it. If the water contains ammonia, it will change immediately. When ammonia touches Nye's reagent, the solution will be colored. The depth of color is related to the amount of ammonia. If the color is deep, there will be more ammonia; if the color is light, there will be less ammonia. This is because ammonia combines with the ingredients in Nye's reagent to produce a specific reaction, and then the color will be displayed. The approximate amount of ammonia can be known by the naked eye.
Second: Use instruments to detect
There are special instruments, such as ammonia nitrogen analy The water sample is injected into the instrument according to its operating procedures. Inside the instrument, there are delicate devices that can analyze the composition of the water sample. After a series of complex calculations and analysis, the data is finally displayed on the screen. This data is accurate and shows the specific content of ammonia in the water. Compared with the reagent method, the instrument detection is more accurate and detailed, and can measure very small amounts of ammonia.
Third: By biological indication
Some organisms in the water are quite sensitive to ammonia. For example, specific algae or microorganisms. If the ammonia content in the water is different from the normal, the growth, shape or behavior of such organisms must change. Looking at the changes, the ammonia situation can be inferred. However, this method can only roughly judge the influence of ammonia, and it is difficult to determine the specific amount of ammonia. It is only for preliminary detection reference.
