Abstract:An allsolidstate nitrate doped polypyrrole (PPy(NO-3) ionselective electrode (ISE) was prepared with a nanohybrid composite film of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO). Preliminary tests on the ISE based insitu soil nitrate nitrogen (NO-3N) monitoring was conducted in a laboratory 3stage column. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and electrochemical reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) nanocomposite were used to improve the stability, sensitivity, and lifetime of ISE. The electrode life was significantly improved, and the average response slope was 44.02mV/dec within 65 days. The relationship between soil depth, soil texture, soil moisture, and soil nitrate nitrogen content of percolate was analyzed by the insitu realtime monitoring system of soil percolate. The results showed that different soil depth, texture, and moisture had no effect on the detection of nitrate nitrogen concentration in soil exudate. The nitrate nitrogen was significantly affected by the sampling depth, which was raised by 30~60mg/L with a depth increase of 10cm. the influence of water content was not obvious. The soil particle size of 2.5mm was the influence pole. The influence was not obvious when the particle size was smaller than 2.5mm, while the nitrate nitrogen concentration was decreased by 19.5% in soil percolate solutions with particle size larger than 2.5mm. The determination results of nitrate nitrogen in tested percolate samples by ISE and UV-VIS methods were in good agreement. Obvious differences of 5~6 times concentrated nitrate nitrogen concentration were found between the insitu percolate samples and conventional soil extracts.
