Title: How to convert NO3 to NH4?
Post by: tunadam on August 31, 2021, 02:24:18 AM

I have ion values of salt leachates from chemical analysis, all are in mg/L unit (or ppm). The salt what I want to calculate from the leachate is ammonium alum, therefore it contains NH₄, however, I have NO₃ values measured. How can I calculate NH₄ from NO₃ values?

Thanks

You want to know conc. of Al(NH₄)(SO₄)₂, but instead someone measured concentrations of NO₃^- ?

Nothing can be done here, but to measure NH₄⁺ this time.
