High Pressure Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Nitrogen Derived from Urea and Water-Soluble Methylene Ureas in Urea Formaldehyde Fertilizers: Collaborative Study
Keyword(s):
Abstract A melhod for measuring nitrogen derived from urea, melhylenediurea (MDU), and dimethylenetriurea (DMTU) was tested by 9 collaborators. Collaborators made single determinations on 2 separate days on 5 sets of paired samples. Samples were extracted with water, filtered, and analyzed after high pressure liquid chromatographic separation on a C-8 or C-18 bonded silica column, using a refractive index detector. Peak heights compared to external standard of each component were used for quantitation. Mean coefficients of variation for the completed study were 3.24% for urea, 3.48% for MDU, and 6.56% for DMTU. The method has been adopted official first action.
