Sludge, treated biowaste and soil - Determination of Kjeldahl nitrogen
This European Standard specifies the determination of Kjeldahl nitrogen according to the Kjeldahl procedure in sludge, treated biowaste and soil. Nitrate and nitrite are not included. Compounds with nitrogen bound in N-N, N-O linkages and some heterocycles (pyridines) are only partially determined. The limit of detection (LOD) is usually 0,03 % nitrogen, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) is 0,1 % nitrogen (using 0,25 mol/l sulfuric acid for titration).
Schlamm, behandelter Bioabfall und Boden - Bestimmung des Kjeldahl-Stickstoffs
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Stickstoffs nach Kjeldahl in Schlamm, behandeltem Bioabfall und Boden fest.
Der Stickstoff in Nitraten und Nitriten wird nicht erfasst.
Der in N N Verbindungen, N O Verbindungen sowie in einigen heterozyklischen Verbindungen (Pyridine) vorliegende Stickstoff wird nur teilweise erfasst.
Eine typische Nachweisgrenze (LOD, en: limit of detection) liegt bei 0,03 % Stickstoff und eine typische Bestimmungsgrenze (LOQ, en: limit of quantification) liegt bei 0,1 % Stickstoff (bei Verwendung von 0,25 mol/l Schwefelsäure für die Titration).
Boues, bio-déchets traités et sols - Détermination de l'azote Kjeldahl
La présente Norme européenne spécifie la détermination de l'azote Kjeldahl selon le mode opératoire de Kjeldahl, dans les boues, les biodéchets traités et les sols.
Les nitrates et les nitrites ne sont pas inclus.
Les composés comportant de l'azote lié dans des liaisons N-N, N-O et certains hétérocycles (pyridines) ne sont que partiellement déterminés.
La limite de détection (LD) est habituellement 0,03 % d'azote, et la limite de quantification (LQ) est 0,1 % d'azote (en utilisant l'acide sulfurique à 0,25 mol/l pour le titrage).
Blato, obdelani biološki odpadki in tla - Določevanje dušika po Kjeldahlu
Ta evropski standard opredeljuje določevanje dušika po Kjeldahlu v skladu s Kjeldahlovo metodo v blatu, obdelanih bioloških odpadkih in tleh. Nitrat in nitrit nista vključena. Spojine z dušikom, vezanim v N-N, N-O in nekaterih heterocikličnih spojinah (piridini) so samo delno določene. Meja detekcije (LOD) je običajno 0,03 % dušika, meja kvantifikacije (LOQ) pa je 0,1 % dušika (pri čemer se porabi 0,25 mol/l žveplove kisline za titracijo).

For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

To raise the temperature, potassium sulfate is added and e.g. a mixture of titanium dioxide and copper sulfate is used as a catalyst. After adding sodium hydroxide to the digestion solution the produced ammonium is evaporated by distillation as ammonia. This is condensed in the cooling system and flows into a conical flask with boric acid solution (or diluted sulfuric acid). This solution is analyzed for ammonia by titration with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. SIST EN 16169:2013
EN 16169:2012 (E) 6 5 Interferences and sources of errors The Kjeldahl method in principle does not capture all nitrogen compounds. The nitrogen that occurs in N-N and N-O linkages (e.g. azo-, nitro- and nitroso compounds, hydrazines, hydrazones, oximes, pyrazolones, isooxazoles, dia- and triazines) is not completely recorded. Furthermore the inorganic fraction (nitrate and nitrite) is not determined. Another source of error includes contamination of the apparatus. Therefore the apparatus shall be rinsed after each analytical series and blank determinations shall be carried out. The amount of sulfuric acid used in digestion process depends on the composition of the sample (see Table 2). A ratio of sample to acid of at least 1:10 (ratio weight to volume) shall be used for samples with high content of organic
