Abstract: A new catalytic spectrophotometric method for determining ultratrace amounts of NO2- has been developed. The method is based on the catalytic oxidation of neutral red by potassium bromate in the solution of diluted H3PO4.The sensitivity of the method is 2. 6 ×10-12g/mLof nitrogen in NO2-(△A=0. 001, b=1 cm), the linear range of determination is 2. 0× 10-4-8.0×10-3pg/mLfor NO2-. The method has been used to determine trace NO2- in water samples.
