Smart Nitrate Sensor

Part of the book series: Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation ((SSMI,volume 35))

Abstract

There are various detection methods are available for nitrate detection in water. Some of them are laboratory-based methods, some can perform in situ measurement. Some of the detection methods are conventional, some of them are non-conventional methods. All the detection methods are some advantages and drawbacks. The price of the detection methods are also important and needs to consider during measurement. This chapter discusses all the available methods and their characteristics in terms of advantages, limit of detections, detection methods, drawbacks, cost and important features.
