“…The positive relationship between total N and C contents is explained by the presence of pyrolytic carbon, which has a porous structure capable of adsorbing molecules, including nitrogenous compounds produced during pyrolysis [3,16,21,39,40,43,44]. Furthermore, when N is adsorbed onto pyrolytic C, additional polymerization or condensation reactions occur between N and C atoms, creating favorable conditions for the formation of nitrogenous compounds with closed chains, thus preserving N during pyrolysis [3,16,21,39,40,43,44]. Among these N compounds are the formation of pyrazine and pyridine and the formation of other heterocyclic compounds, such as pyrazole (Figure 5) [39,40,44].…”
