Determination of ammonia and primary amine compounds and Kjeldahl nitrogen in water samples with a modified Roth's fluorimetric method

This procedure has been also applied to real samples (irrigation ditch, residual and fountain waters) and the concentrations of primary amine groups and ammonium have been evaluated. The results obtained after Kjeldahl digestion allowed to estimate the total Kjeldahl N contained in the samples. The samples were also analysed by Nessler method and similar results were obtained.
