I-Succinic acid, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-succinic acid, yikristale engenambala ikhompawundi eyenzeka ngokwemvelo kwiziqhamo ezahlukeneyo kunye nemifuno.Yi-dicarboxylic acid kwaye yeyosapho lwee-carboxylic acids.Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, i-succinic acid itsale ingqalelo enkulu ngenxa yokusetyenziswa kwayo ngokubanzi kumashishini ahlukeneyo afana namayeza, iipolima, ukutya kunye nezolimo.
Enye yeempawu eziphambili ze-succinic acid yikhono layo njengekhemikhali ye-biobased ehlaziyiweyo.Inokuveliswa kwimithombo ehlaziyekayo efana neswekile, umbona kunye nenkunkuma yebhayomass.Oku kwenza i-succinic acid ibe yinto ekhangayo kwiikhemikhali ezisekelwe kwi-petroleum, igalelo kuphuhliso oluzinzileyo kunye nokunciphisa i-carbon footprints.
I-asidi ye-Succinic ineempawu ezintle zeekhemikhali, kuquka ukunyibilika okuphezulu emanzini, ii-alcohols, kunye nezinye izinyibilikisi eziphilayo.Isebenza kakhulu kwaye inokwenza ii-esters, iityuwa kunye nezinye izinto eziphuma kuyo.Oku kuguquguquka kwenza i-asidi ye-succinic ibe yinto ephakathi kwimveliso yeekhemikhali ezahlukeneyo, iipolymers kunye namayeza.
