  Annealings of niobium cavities in UHV or nitrogen atmospheres are crucial for the performance in the later cryogenic tests and operation. Recovery methods for imperfect annealing conditions have been discussed, and a more recent proposal, the so-called "nitric acid soak" has been studied here in detail. It shows surprising recovery potential, albeit the unclear origin of this improvement. We present our investigation on the several potential origins. For this, we used SEM, SIMS and XPS measurements of niobium samples to study the surface morphology and contaminations. We can reject the favored hypothesis on the origin of the improvement, and propose an alternative origin.
