On the chemical structure of phosphorus compounds in phosphoric acid-activated carbon
Chemical structure of phosphorus species in polymer-based phosphoric acid-activated carbon SP800 was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been shown that most probable structure for phosphorus species is condensed phosphates bound to carbon lattice via C-O-P bonding. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
