SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining total Kjeldahl nitrogen (Kj-N) for leachate using the Hach method and comparing it with other procedures, particularly ASTM D-1426-03. Participants highlight the difficulty in accessing ASTM methods due to copyright restrictions, suggesting that EPA methods are viable alternatives. A specific link to an EPA method (351.3) is provided for users seeking accessible resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (Kj-N) testing
  • Familiarity with Hach testing methods
  • Knowledge of ASTM D-1426-03 and its applications
  • Basic awareness of EPA testing methods for environmental analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research EPA Method 351.3 for total Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis
  • Explore alternative nitrogen testing methods for leachate
  • Investigate the implications of using Hach versus EPA methods
  • Review ASTM standards related to environmental testing
USEFUL FOR

Environmental chemists, laboratory technicians, and professionals involved in water quality testing and environmental assessments will benefit from this discussion.

Kindly recommend a procedure to determine total kjeldahl-nitrogen Kj-N for leachate.

I use the hach method and I want to compare it with another one especially that I'm participating in a universal proficiency test.

Thanks in advence.

thank you my friend.i'll search for it.
 
Can someone tell me where to find the details of this procedure. I couldn't find anything on net, and i cannot buy the ASTM Book.

Thanks in advance.

I am an environmental chemist and have considerable experience with this test.

ASTM methods are copyrighted and so will NOT be found online.

But there perfectly good perfectly available EPA methods that work just as well.

Here is a link that has all the methods you can download:
