Abstract: The present paper covers a novel and highly sensitive catalytic method for the determination of nitrite as low as 0.1 ng/mL, It is based on the fact that the nitrite ion catalyses the slow redox reaction between methyl red and BrO3- in 0.016 mol/L H2SO4 at 100℃.Cooling by tap water was chosen to quench the reaction.And oscillopolarography was used as detection technique for methyl red in NaOHmedium which exhibits a sensitive oscillopolarographic wave at -0.56 Vvs.SCE.Nitrite in water samples was analysed by this method with excellent results.
