4 Principle
The fertilizer sample shall be analysed according to four different analytical pathways to quantify the
different forms of nitrogen in the sample. The nitrogen content determined by the four analytical
pathways is representative for:
1) total nitrogen content;
2) total nitrogen content with exception of nitric nitrogen;
3) ammoniacal nitrogen content;
4) ammoniacal nitrogen and ureic nitrogen content.
The analysis results that are obtained by the determination of nitrogen according to these four pathways
shall be used to calculate the content of ammoniacal, nitric, ureic, and organic nitrogen in the sample
(see 9.1).

CEN/TS 17771:2022 (E)
All four analytical pathways are based on or derived from the Kjeldahl principle. First, the operator shall
perform a pretreatment and/or digestion to convert the nitrogen of a certain fraction of nitrogenous
compounds to ammonia. Next, the operator shall distil the ammoniacal nitrogen into a known volume
and concentration of hydrochloric acid. Finally, the operator shall quantify the ammoniacal nitrogen by
titration of excess amount of acid in the receiving flask with sodium hydroxide.
The procedures that shall be performed for the pretreatment, digestion and distillation depend on the
analytical pathway, as schematically shown in Figure 1.
When performing analytical pathway 1, the total nitrogen content shall be determined by a reduction
with the aid of reduced iron and stannous chloride to convert nitric nitrogen to ammonia, followed by
Kjeldahl digestion of the sample. Subsequently, the ammonia shall be distilled after addition of sodium
hydroxide.
NOTE For the determination of the total nitrogen content, the Dumas method can also be applied if it is proven
to be as accurate as the modified Kjeldahl method.
When performing analytical pathway 2, the total nitrogen with the exception of nitric nitrogen shall be
determined by a Kjeldahl digestion with ferrous sulfate. Then, the ammonia shall be distilled after
addition of sodium hydroxide.
When performing analytical pathway 3, the ammoniacal nitrogen content shall be determined by a mild
distillation after addition of magnesium oxide.
Performing pathway 4, the ureic and ammoniacal nitrogen content shall be determined by a pretreatment
with urease. Subsequently, the ammonia shall be distilled by a mild distillation after addition of
magnesium oxide.

fractions

5.3 Stannous chloride solution (SnCl , c = 0,532 mol/l)

For the preparation of the stannous chloride solution, the following tasks shall be performed:
— Weigh 120 g of stannous chloride dihydrate and transfer it into a 1 l volumetric flask.
— Add 400 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid (density at 20 °C ρ = 1,18 g/ml) to the flask.

— Bring to volume with water and shake the flask until all stannous chloride is dissolved.
The solution shall be clear and prepared immediately before use.
It is essential to check the reducing power of stannous chloride dihydrate. In order to check the reducing
power, the following steps shall be performed:
— Weigh 0,5 g of stannous chloride dihydrate and transfer it into a 50 ml volumetric flask.
— Add 2 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid (ρ = 1,18 g/ml) to the flask.
20
— Bring to volume with water and shake the flask until all stannous chloride is dissolved.
— Transfer the content of the volumetric flask into a glass beaker.
— Weigh 5 g of Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate) and transfer into the glass beaker.
— Add sufficient quantity of sodium bicarbonate for the solution to be alkaline to litmus paper.
Titrate this solution with an iodine solution (I ) (5.2) in the presence of a starch solution as an indicator.
2
1 ml of the iodine solution corresponds to 0,011 28 g of stannous chloride dihydrate. At least 80 % of the
total tin present in the solution thus prepared shall be in bivalent form.
Therefore, at least 35 ml of the iodine solution should be required for the titration.
