Determination of total nitrogen in soil and sources of hydrolysis nitrogen content: Category: Technical Articles Update Time: 2008-11-3 17:33:39 Read 101 times vast majority of nitrogen in soil organic combination form. Inorganic forms of nitrogen generally account for 1% to 5% of total nitrogen. The increase and decrease of soil organic matter and nitrogen mainly depends on the relative strengths of bioaccumulation and decomposition, as well as various factors such as climate, vegetation, and farming systems, especially hydrothermal conditions, which have significant effects on soil organic matter and nitrogen content.
(I) Determination of Total Nitrogen in Soil
The method for determining soil total nitrogen can be mainly divided into dry burning and wet burning. Wet burning is the commonly used Kjeldahl method. This method was used by Danish KJ Keldahl in 1883 to study protein changes and was later used to determine various forms of organic nitrogen. Because the equipment is relatively simple and easy to obtain, the result is reliable and is used by general laboratories. The semi-micro Kjeldahl method widely used at present is described below.
When the sample is digested with concentrated sulfuric acid under the action of an accelerator, various nitrogen-containing organic compounds undergo a complicated pyrolysis reaction and are converted into ammonia, which is combined with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate. The ammonia distilled after alkalization was absorbed by boric acid and titrated with a standard acid solution to determine the total nitrogen content of the soil (excluding all nitrate nitrogen).
In the determination of total nitrogen including nitrate and nitrite nitrogen, the nitrite nitrogen in the sample is first oxidized to nitrate nitrogen with potassium permanganate before the sample is decocted, and the whole nitrate state is then reduced with reduced iron powder. Nitrogen is reduced and converted to ammonium nitrogen.
Sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizer at high temperatures and can decompose organic matter by oxidizing carbon in organic compounds.

In L water, add 5 ml of methyl red-bromocresol green mixed indicator per liter of H3BO3 solution and adjust it to slightly purple with dilute acid or dilute alkali. At this time, the pH of the solution is 4.8. The indicator is mixed with boric acid before use. This reagent should be ready for use and should not be placed for a long time.

(7) Reduced Iron Powder: Finely ground through a 0.149 mm (100 mesh) sieve.
Method and procedure
1. Sample Preparation 1.0000 g of air-dried soil samples (passed through a 0.149 mm sieve) was weighed.
2. Digestion of soil samples 1 Excluding the digestion of nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen: Give the soil sample to the bottom of a dry Kjeldahl bottle, moisten the soil with a small amount of non-ionized water (0.5 to 1 mL), and add 2 g of soil sample. Accelerator and 5mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, shake, the Kelvin bottle is placed on a 300W variable temperature electric furnace, heated with a small fire, until the reaction within the bottle is moderate (10 ~ 15min), strengthen the fire to keep the boiling water to keep the micro-boiling The heated part does not exceed the liquid level in the bottle to prevent the temperature of the bottle wall from being too high and the ammonium salt to be decomposed by heat, resulting in loss of nitrogen. The temperature of the cooking is preferably that the sulfuric vapor condenses at the upper 1/3 of the bottle neck. After the liquid to be detoxified and the soil particles all turn grayish and slightly green, continue cooking 1
h. After digestion is complete, cool and wait for distillation. While the soil samples were digested, two blank measurements were made, except for the absence of soil samples. All other operations were the same as those for the determination of soil samples.
2 Including the digestion of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen: Give the soil sample to the bottom of a dry Kjell's bottle, add 1 mL of potassium permanganate solution, shake the Kjeldahl bottle, and slowly add 1:1 sulfuric acid to 2 mL. The bottle is then placed for 5 min and then 1 drop of octanol is added. 0.50g (0.01g) of reduced iron powder was sent to the bottom of a Kiel bottle through a long-necked funnel, a small funnel was placed on the bottle neck, and the Kjeldahl flask was turned to contact the iron powder with the acid. When the violent reaction stopped (about 5min), Place the Kjeldahl bottle on the electric furnace and slowly heat it for 45 minutes (the inside of the bottle should be kept slightly boiled so as not to cause a large amount of water loss). After the Kjeldahl bottle is cooled, add 2 g of accelerator and 5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid through a long neck funnel and shake. According to the above step 1, boil until the soil solution turns yellow-green, and continue cooking 1
h. After digestion is complete, cool and wait for distillation. While cooking the soil sample, make two blank determinations.
3. Distillation of ammonia 1 Before distillation, check whether the distillation unit leaks, and wash the pipe through the distillate of water.
2 After the cooking liquid is cooled, the cooking liquid is transferred to the distiller with a small amount of ion-free water, and the Kjeldahl bottle is washed with water for 4 to 5 times (the total water consumption does not exceed 30-35 mL). If a semi-automatic automatic nitrogen analyzer is used, it is not necessary to transfer, and the decoction tube can be directly distilled in a person's nitrogen determination apparatus.
In a 150-mL Erlenmeyer flask, add 20 mL of the L-1 borate acid indicator mixture and place it on the end of the condenser tube. Place the nozzle 3 to 4 above the boric acid level.
Cm. Then, 20 mL of a 10 mol L-1 NaOH solution was slowly added to the distillation chamber, and steam distillation was conducted. When the volume of the distilled liquid was about 50 mL, distillation was completed. The ends of the condenser tube were washed with a small amount of water that had been adjusted to pH 4.5.
4. Determine the titration of the distillate with 0.01 mol L-1 H2SO4 or 0.01 mol L-1 HCl standard solution until the distillate turns from blue-green to purple. Record the volume (mL) of acid standard solution used. The volume of the acid standard solution used for the blank measurement is generally not to exceed 0.4 mL.
5. Calculation formula: V—— volume of acid standard solution used for titration of test solution, mL;
V0 - the volume of the acid standard solution used to titrate the blank, mL;
c - H2SO4 or HCl standard solution concentration, molL-1;
m - the quality of dried soil samples, g.
The results of the two parallel determinations allow an absolute difference: When the soil nitrogen content is greater than 1.0gkg-1, it must not exceed 0.005%; nitrogen 1.0-0.6gk
When kg-1, not more than 0.004%; nitrogen
Matters needing attention 1 For the titration of trace nitrogen can also use another more sensitive mixing indicator, namely 0.099
g bromocresol green and 0.066 g methyl red were dissolved in 100 mL ethanol. Preparation of 20gL-1H3BO3 indicator solution: Weigh 20g of boric acid (analytically pure) into about 950mL of water, heat and stir until H3BO3 dissolves. After cooling, add mixing indicator 20 to mix and adjust to violet with dilute acid or dilute alkali. Red (pH about 5), dilute with water to 1L and mix. Should be equipped with.
2 Generally, the amount of nitrogen in the sample should be 1.0 to 2.0 mg. If the soil nitrogen content is below 2 g kg-1, the soil sample should be called 1 g; if the nitrogen content is 2.0 to 4.0 g kg-1, 0.5 to 1.0 g should be weighed. Those with a nitrogen content of 4.0gkg-1 or more should be weighed 0.5g.
3 The concentration and the amount of boric acid to meet the absorption of NH3 is appropriate, and the amount of nitrogen (N) absorbed by 10gL-1H3BO3 per ml can be roughly calculated as 0.46 tons. For example, 20gL-1
The maximum absorbable nitrogen (N) amount of 5 mL of H3BO3 solution was 5X2X0.46=4.6 mg. Therefore, the amount of boric acid can be estimated based on the nitrogen content in the cooking liquid, which is more appropriate.
4 In the semi-micro-distillation, the condensing nozzle does not need to be inserted into the boric acid solution, which can prevent sucking and reduce the washing procedure. However, in the constant distillation, due to the high nitrogen content, the condenser tube must be inserted into the boric acid solution to avoid loss.
(B) Determination of Soil Hydrolysis Nitrogen (Alkaline Solution Dispersion Method)
Soil hydrolyzable nitrogen is also called soil available nitrogen. It includes inorganic nitrogen and some simple organic nitrogen which is easily decomposed in organic matter. It is ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, amino acid, ammonium and hydrolyzable protein nitrogen. sum. Determination of nitrogen hydrolysis can understand the level of nitrogen supply in the soil during a certain period (such as a growing season or a year), and has reference value for the formulation of improved soil fertility planning, development of a reasonable fertilization plan, determination of fertilizing amount in the field, and crop management. .
The alkaline solution dispersal method described in this experiment utilizes the hydrolysis of dilute alkali and soil samples under certain conditions to convert readily hydrolyzable organic nitrogen in the soil to ammonia gas, and continuously diffuses and escapes, together with the original soil. Ammonia nitrogen is absorbed by boric acid and titrated with standard acid to calculate the content of hydrolyzable nitrogen. However, the effective nitrogen measured by this method does not include nitrate in soil.

Method and procedure
Weigh out 2.00 g of air-dried soil sample (passed through a 1mm sieve), place it in the outer chamber of the diffusion dish, and gently rotate the diffusion dish to evenly spread the soil. Take 2mL2% boric acid indicator and put it in the interior of the diffuser. Then apply alkaline glycerol on the edge of the outer chamber of the diffuser, cover the frosted glass, and rotate several times so that the edge of the dish is completely bonded to the frosted glass. Then gradually open the side of the frosted glass. Expose the outside of the diffuser to a slit and quickly add 10.0
The concentration of mL is 1molL-1NaOH, immediately cover tightly, and then tightly with rubber bands to fix the frosted glass. Then release 40l °C in a constant temperature box, alkali solution diffusion 240.5h after removal. Ammonia in the absorption solution of the inner chamber is titrated with a 0.01 mol L-1 HCl standard solution (drop from blue to reddish) in a semi-micro burette. A blank test is performed at the same time as the sample measurement to correct errors in reagents and titration operations.
The result is calculated as follows:
Where: V, Vo - the volume of the standard HCl used in the determination of soil samples and blank experiments, mL;
c - standard acid concentration, molL;
14.0 - the molar mass of the nitrogen atom;
W - weighing dry soil samples, g;
The results of two parallel determinations allow an error of 5 mg kg-1.
