In this work, chitin, as a biobased polymer, is used as a precursor to obtain a phosphorylated derivatives. The influence of the different degree of phosphorylation in chitin on pyrolysis pattern was investigated. In order to understand the pyrolysis mechanism and the potential application of phosphorylated chitins, the samples were pyrolyzed at different temperatures and analyzed by FTIR, SEM, and Py-GC/MS analysis. Moreover, the thermal degradation and the evolved gases during chitin degradation and its derivatives were measured. The results showed that phosphorylation of chitin decreased the thermal stability of biopolymer and significantly changed the pattern of pyrolysis compared to neat chitin. The production of long-chain hydrocarbons was detected during pyrolysis of phosphorylated chitin, whereas this was not the case with raw chitin. Those two effects were more pronounced as the degree of phosphorylation increased. Chitin with the degree of phosphorylation (DS 1.35) exhibited ...the highest selectivity (91 %) towards production of long-chain hydrocarbons (C12-C17) at 500 °C. Moreover, the obtained results allowed to propose, for the first time, the mechanism of pyrolysis of phosphorylated chitin.
