How to prepare a water sample for photometry?

The purpose of measuring N P K Ca Mg S is to determine the amount of material consumed by different types of plants in different periods.
The initial solution, which is prepared as a nutritious solution, includes highly accurate and measured doses of substances such as
Potassium Nitrate, Magnesium Sulphate, Calcium Nitrate, Potassium Monophosphate, Ammonium Nitrate, and other materials that supply the micro-nutrients required by the plants.
The resulting solution is very clear and after two to three days of water treatment, the water dissolved in the water (drainage water) can easily be measured by photometer.
The problem occurs when the initial solution of humic acid and fulvic acid is added. In this case, the water released is very dark and it is not possible to use this water in photometry.
I have searched a lot, but the easiest way is to use photometer and chemical reagents to measure the concentration of the material.
Due to the fact that the error of 10-15% is acceptable in test conditions, it is thought to isolate humic and fulvic acids to clear water without changing the concentration of other materials.

Hello Am,

Science Buddies Ask the Expert is for students in grades K-12 who are doing science projects.

I see that you have posted questions on the same topic in two separate Science Buddies forums. Please pick the grade level which matches your grade level, so the appropriate experts can help.

In order for the experts here to help you, you should describe your science project, including your hypotheses and your plan for collecting data.

Thank you.
