Abstract: The flow-through column electrode, with Cu and Cd deposited on glassy carbon beads, as described previously by Nakata (Fresenius Z. Anal. Chem., 1984, 317, 115) was used. The NO3- was reduced to NO2- at -0.85 to -1.05 V vs Ag - AgCl in NH4OH buffer, pH 10.0. The NO2- was determined by conventional colorimetry with a detection limit of 0.7 µm and a coefficient of variation (n = 10) of 0.52% for 10 µm. By using a column electrode with Ag deposited on the grains, as an O2 scrubber at -0.8 V, before the Cu - Cd electrode, the NO3-1 could be determined coulometrically. The limit of detection was 2 µm with coefficient of variation (n = 10) of 1.9% for 50 µm and 3.3% for 10 µm. The method was applied in the analysis of waters, the results obtained were in close agreement with those obtained by ion chromatography.
