    AMMONIUM
    Ammonium ISE Specifications and Analytical Procedures (Nico2000.net)
    Procedures for aqueous solutions with and without significant K contamination.

    NB: Most published methods for ammonium use an ammonia gas-sensing electrode to measure the NH3 gas liberated after the sample has been treated with strong alkali. These electrodes require frequent replacement of the membrane and filling solutions.

    The ELIT ammonium electrode measures the NH4+ ion directly in solution and there is no need for any pre-treatment with caustic chemicals. The electrode is all solid-state, so there is no filling solution to be replaced, and the membrane is not damaged by the analysis and also does not need to be replaced.

    5. Recommendations

    For a fully comprehensive treatise we suggest 1.5 and 1.7.

    ISE technology of 1988 and some special applications are described in 1.3.

    The basics about working with ISEs are to be found in 1.8, 1.10, 1.11, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15.

    A rich selection of applications can be found in 2.9, 2.11, 2.13, and 2.14.

    The most important publication about water analysis is 2.2.

    An informative, modern book about analytical chemistry is 3.1.

    The principles of electrochemistry are explained in a very clear modern way in 3.2. We recommend also 3.3 and 3.4.

    The magazine 4.2 presents the newest sensor technology.

    The most important magazine for analytical chemistry is 4.5. Also important are 4.4, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.3.

    Many applications can be found in 4.9.
