Abstract
For determining the urea concentration in liquids in continuous operation, with a high sensitivity and reliable determination of the urea content over an extended period of time, an electrode which is separated from the urea containing liquid by means of a diaphragm with a diffusion coefficient of less than 10-7 cm2 s-1 for urea has impressed on it potentiostatically and cyclically, two potential values, the more positive potential being between 0.9 and 2.0. V/H2 rev, and the more negative potential being lower than 0.6 V/H2 rev, and at the more positive potential, the current flowing within a predetermined time interval is evaluated as the measuring signal.
