Nitron (Busch-reagent)

[solar_plasma]

Do you know the english name of Nitron http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagenz_nach_Busch

I can't find it in NIST http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/form-ser.html

It is used for gravimetric analysis of nitrates.

I would like to know, if it can be used in AR to determine excess nitric or maybe would precipitate all excess nitric under that acidic conditions?

I followed your wiki link and typed in the chemical formulae and it comes back as Nitron even in the English translation so if you want it ask for just that. If you want to remove nitric from AR solutions then Sulphamic acid can be used, it converts the nitric to sulphuric I believe and been a none chemist I'm not sure if nitron would be advisable to use for our purposes, maybe one of our resident chemists can advise you here before you try it...safety first.

Thank you.I just asked, because it is easily available to me. It may be useful for me to use it as an additional test for excess nitric, at least if I first neutralize the probe.
