The biomaterials have gained the attention for utilization as sustainable alternatives for petroleum-derived products due to the rapid depletion of petroleum resources and environmental issues. Chitosan is an economical, renewable and abundant polysaccharide having unique molecular characteristics. Chitosan is derived by deacetylation of chitin, a natural polysaccharide existing in insects' exoskeleton, outer shells of crustaceans, and some fungi cell walls. Chitosan is widely used in numerous domains like agriculture, food, water treatment, medicine, cosmetics, fisheries, packaging, and chemical industry. This review aims to account for all the efforts made towards chitosan and its derivatives for utilization in the petroleum industry and related processes including exploration, extraction, refining, transporting oil spillages, and wastewater treatment. This review includes a compilation of various chemical modifications of chitosan to enhance the petroleum field's performance and applicability.
由于石油资源的迅速枯竭和环境问题，生物材料作为可持续的石油衍生产品替代品引起了人们的关注。壳聚糖是一种经济、可再生且丰富的多糖，具有独特的分子特性。壳聚糖是由存在于昆虫外骨骼、甲壳类动物外壳和一些真菌细胞壁中的天然多糖几丁质脱乙酰化而来的。壳聚糖广泛应用于农业、食品、水处理、医药、化妆品、渔业、包装和化学工业等众多领域。本综述旨在概述在石油工业及其相关过程（包括勘探、开采、精炼、运输溢油和废水处理）中利用壳聚糖及其衍生物所做的所有努力。本综述包括对壳聚糖进行各种化学修饰的综述，以提高石油领域的性能和适用性。
