AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for determining nitrate nitrogen and oxygen isotopes in natural water bodies suffer from high costs, isotope fractionation, and exchange problems caused by acidic eluents, making it difficult to effectively reduce experimental costs and improve measurement accuracy.
Using BaCl2 as the anion exchange eluent, combined with anion and cation exchange resins, and by pretreating Ag2O powder, Cl-type anion exchange resin and H-type cation exchange resin, the use of acidic eluent was reduced, and high-purity silver nitrate was prepared for the determination of isotopic composition in natural water bodies.
It significantly reduced experimental costs, decreased isotope fractionation, improved the precision and accuracy of nitrogen and oxygen isotope determination, reduced the content of interfering ions, and enabled rapid determination of nitrate δ15N and δ18O isotopes.
