Abstract

A simple, rapid, low cost and accurate determination using flow injection spectrophotometry with a home made flow cell detector, in combination with green LED and photodiode, had been developed for nitrite based on the Griess-Saltzman reaction, measuring the absorbance at 525 nm. The proposed system is able to monitor nitrite in freshwater samples at a throughput of 60 samples per hour with a relative standard deviation (%RSD) of less than 2.4% and a detection limit of < 7 µg dm-3. The calibration graph was linear between 0.010 - 1.0 mg dm-3.
