Abstract
•Pyrolysis of cellulose, lignin, and chitin upgraded by electron-beam distillation.•Distillation of cellulose results in furans obtaining.•Phenols and pyridines are dominant products from lignin and chitin, respectively.
Pyrolysis of cellulose, lignin, and chitin may be upgraded by the use of an electron-beam irradiation. The radiation-thermal destruction mode does more probable production of liquid low-molecular-weight products instead of solid pyrolitic oligomers. Furans, methoxyphenols, and pyridines are dominant products of high-temperature radiolysis of cellulose, lignin, and chitin, respectively. The mechanism of chain destruction of natural polymers is considered.
