To thelatter group of interferences belongs that of the nitrate ion at concentrations higherthan 10 mg N/l, which can provoke the oxidation of ammonia generating from theorganic matter digestion, giving rise to N2O, lead[r]

Although this method is faster and easier than that of Kjeldahl or of photo-oxidation,it also provides low recoveries with compounds containing nitrogen–nitrogen bondsor HNC (Nidal,1978; Ebina et al., 1983).
