Results indicate that during treatment with nitric acid, phosphorus-containing carbons seem to graft more surface nitrogen, particularly as nitro groups, than those without phosphorus, where the nitrogen is found in lower oxidation state. A reaction pathway has been proposed to clarify the oxidation/nitration mechanism of phosphorus-containing carbons. The model consists of three independent mechanisms occurring simultaneously, with each one involving different phosphorus species present in the activated carbons.
