Continuous separation of succinic acid and lactic acid by using a three-zone simulated moving bed process packed with Amberchrom-CG300C

Pre-treatment and extraction techniques for recovery of added value compounds from wastes throughout the agri-food chain

“…486 Indicative case studies in waste valorisation. The literature provides a long list of potential SMB applications, such as purifications of organic acids, 494,[500][501][502][503] amino acids, [504][505][506] and pharmaceutics, 507 which include enzymes, 485 monoclonal antibodies, 508 paclitaxel (a chemotherapeutic drug), 483 ascomycin derivative (an anti-inflammatory drug), 509 biosynthetic human insulin, 510,511 and many others.…”

Direct conversion of glyceric acid to succinic acid by reductive carbonylation

“…20 Besides, it can also be used to produce biodegradable plastics (PBS), polyurethanes, and plasticizers. 21,22 Traditionally, SA is mainly produced from petroleum-based raw materials by paraffin oxidation, 19 maleic acid catalytic hydrogenation, 23 and electroreduction of maleic anhydride. 24 However, due to the exhaustion of the finite crude oil reserves on the Earth, the transition from the petrochemical industry to the biochemical industry seems inevitable in the near future.…”

“…Succinic acid (SA) is listed as one of the top 12 bio-based platform molecules by the United States Department of Energy. 18 Due to the great potential of SA in the preparation of spices, flavors, surfactants, herbicides and food additives, 19 it is recognized as the basis of many fine chemicals in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. 20 Besides, it can also be used to produce biodegradable plastics (PBS), polyurethanes, and plasticizers.…”

Recovery of a Succinic, Formic, and Acetic Acid Mixture from a Model Fermentation Broth by Simulated Moving Bed Adsorption with Methanol as a Desorbent

“…Nam et al carried out the optimal design of a three-zone simulated moving bed (SMB) process for continuous separation of succinic acid and lactic acid dissolved in water with AMBERCHROM CG300C resin . Mun improved this process by applying a combination of partial feeding and a port location rearrangement to its operation .…”
