  2. Kjeldahl method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjeldahl_method

    Total Kjeldahl nitrogen or TKN is the sum of nitrogen bound in organic substances, nitrogen in ammonia (NH 3-N) and in ammonium (NH 4 +-N) in the chemical analysis of soil, water, or waste water (e.g. sewage treatment plant effluent).

  3. Wastewater quality indicators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_quality_indicators

    Atmospheric nitrogen is less biologically available than dissolved nitrogen in the form of ammonia and nitrates. Availability of dissolved nitrogen may contribute to algal blooms . Ammonia and organic forms of nitrogen are often measured as Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen , and analysis for inorganic forms of nitrogen may be performed for more accurate ...

  4. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    An EPA scientist samples water in Florida Everglades. Samples of water from the natural environment are routinely taken and analyzed as part of a pre-determined monitoring program by regulatory authorities to ensure that waters remain unpolluted, or if polluted, that the levels of pollution are not increasing or are falling in line with an agreed remediation plan.

  5. Dumas method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumas_method

    The method consists of combusting a sample of known mass to a temperature between 800 and 900 °C in the presence of oxygen. This leads to the release of carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen. The gases are then passed over special columns (such as potassium hydroxide aqueous solution) that absorb the carbon dioxide and water.

  6. Bacteriological water analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriological_water_analysis

    Bacteriological water analysis is a method of analysing water to estimate the numbers of bacteria present and, if needed, to find out what sort of bacteria they are. It represents one aspect of water quality. It is a microbiological analytical procedure which uses samples of water and from these samples determines the concentration of bacteria ...

  7. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Bottled mineral water usually contains higher TDS levels than tap water. Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form. TDS are often measured in parts per million (ppm).

  8. δ15N - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Δ15N

    The abundance of 15 N is greater in human waste water than in natural water sources. Hence δ 15 N in benthic sediment gives an indication of the contribution of human waste to the total nitrogen in the sediment. Sediment cores analyzed for δ 15 N yield an historical record of such waste, with older samples at greater depths.

  9. Nutrition analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition_analysis

    Traditionally, food companies would send food samples to laboratories for physical testing. Typical analyses include: moisture (water) by loss of mass at 102 °C; protein by analysis of total nitrogen, either by Dumas or Kjeldahl methods; total fat, traditionally by a solvent extraction, but often now by secondary methods such as NMR
