Quality Evaluation of Acid Radicals of Some Selected Boreholes in Edda, Ebonyi State [ ]


The Acid Radicals of some boreholes in Edda of Ebonyi State were evaluated. Composite samples drawn from 8 borehole water sources were collected for dry and rainy seasons and analyzed for acid radicals The Ammonia, Nitrate, nitrite of the water samples were determined using UV Spectrophotometer model HACH DR 2400 (Phenate Method) at wavelengths of 636, 470 and 520 nm. The Phosphorus of the water samples was determined at wavelength 882nm using UV Spectrophotometer (Ascorbic Acid Method) while sulphate was determined at wavelength 420 nm using UV Spectrophotometer model SM 7525. The Chloride of the water samples was determined Mohr’s Method.
