The invention relates to a process for preparing a nitrogen-modified and / or nitrogen-functionalized activated carbon, in particular an activated carbon having catalytic and / or reactive properties, preferably an activated carbon with nitrogen as the catalytically active heteroatom, wherein in the context of the method used as a starting material, in particular conventional or commercially available activated carbon ("starting activated carbon") is first subjected to a surface oxidation using and / or in the presence of at least one oxidation reagent ("OR") and the thus obtained surface-oxidized activated carbon following an equipment, in particular modification and / or functionalization, with nitrogen, in particular with nitrogen-containing functional groups, using and / or in the presence of at least one nitrogen-modification reagent ("SMR"). |
