Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Nitrite Based on Its Catalytic Effect on the Oxidation of Celestine Blue by Bromate

Key Points

• Nitrite levels can be effectively determined through their catalytic effect on the oxidation of celestine blue.
• The reaction shows a clear relationship between nitrite concentration and the oxidation reaction’s rate.
• Assessment using kinetic spectrophotometry reveals accurate results under controlled conditions.
• This technique supports environmental monitoring of nitrite but may need validation across different settings.
