Oxygen can be exchanged by nitrogen atom in high surface specific and amorphous zirconium phosphate solids thank to nitridation process. Various nitridation parameters influence the O/N substitution. A minimum temperature of 550 degrees C is required for efficient nitridation whereas temperature higher than 850 and 1300 degrees C induces reduction of phosphorus and zirconium atoms respectively. In intermediate temperature range, O/N exchange increases with temperature as well as with time of nitridation. In these conditions, the ZrPON solids obtained are X-ray amorphous and a slight decrease of precursor specific surface area is observed (110-210 m(2) g(-1)). (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
