Abstract

Trace NO2- in H3PO4 solution has been studied. It catalyzes the decolorization reaction of neutral red (NR) by oxidizing H2O2 in H3PO4. Its catalytic extent is linear with the contents of NO2-. The results show that the maxium absorption wave length of the colored solution is 530 nm. and the detection limits of this method is 0.014 μg/L. When the catalysis degree and NO2- content are in the range of 0-0.080 mg/L, it accords with Beer′s Law. The appending recovery rate is 96.0%-106.0%. This method has high sensibility, good selectivity, quick analytical speed. When it is applied to the fast determination of trace NO2- in municiple sewage, satisfactory results have been obtained.
