You can use a sophisticated selective ion electrode method, or you can titrate with a cerium salt standard or you can do a total acid titration and subtract the other acid amounts. None of the methods are extremely accurate. the cerium titration is quite repeatable, but is slightly radioactive which might be a major problem. I would talk to FL DEP in Pensacola before I jumped into that one. The selective ion electrode method is subject to operator influence. It took a while to develop a suitable method, but then was quite repeatable.
