AN INVESTIGATION OF SEMI-MICRO KJELDAHL METHODS
It is shown that the estimation of nitrogen by the Kjeldahl method on a semi-micro scale is more sensitive to variations in procedure than the corresponding macro method.Several methods of preliminary reduction, recommended for certain types of compounds, have been found difficult to adapt to semi-micro work. A method of reduction, involving use of hydriodic acid and phosphorus, has been developed for many such compounds.
