- Abstract
- A new on-line analytical setup for N-15 measurements of total dissolved nitrogen (MN) has been developed through the coupling of a high-temperature catalytic (Ce(IV)O-2) oxidation furnace, a Cu reduction furnace, and an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The detection limit for accurate delta N-15 measurements is 20 mg of N L-1. For N-containing compounds dissolved in water, a standard deviation on N concentration measurements of 0.2 mg of N L-1, independent of N concentration, has been found. Reproducibility on delta N-15 increased with increasing N concentration, with standard deviations varying from 0.8 to 0.1%o in the range of 20-100 mg of N L-1. Salt matrixes, in which the N species might be dissolved, could influence the analysis capacity and continuity, mainly at concentrations above 0.1 M. To our knowledge, this system is the first successful on-line setup capable of performing routine delta N-15 and N concentration measurements of the TDN pool. Potential applications are large and are believed to result in an increased insight in N cycling and dissolved organic nitrogen behavior in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
