| Application: | Succinic acid may be used in the following processes: • As a leaching agent in extracting lithium (Li), cobalt from used Li-ion batteries and magnesium from magnesite ore. • Synthesis of new elastic polyesters. • As a cocrystallising agent in the synthesis of cocrystals with organic molecules. |
| General description: | Succinic acid, an organic acid is an important building block that has a wide range of synthetic applications. Presently it is synthesized from petrochemical compounds. Due to its increasing demand many bio-based methods have been proposed for its synthesis as an efficient alternative. Its utility as a low shrinkage additive (LSA) in unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) has been investigated. |
