Zusammenfassung:An embodiment provides a method for measuring nitrate in an aqueous sample, including: introducing an aqueous sample containing an amount of nitrate to a cation exchange resin; flowing the aqueous sample over copper metal; adding a reducing reagent to the aqueous sample; adding a colorimetric indicator to the aqueous sample; and measuring the amount of nitrate in the aqueous sample by measuring a change in intensity of the absorbance. Other aspects are described and claimed.
