I-Succinic acid, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-succinic acid, iyinhlanganisela ye-crystalline engenambala eyenzeka ngokwemvelo ezithelweni nemifino ehlukahlukene.I-dicarboxylic acid futhi ingeyomndeni wama-carboxylic acid.Eminyakeni yamuva nje, i-succinic acid idonse ukunakwa okukhulu ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwayo okubanzi ezimbonini ezahlukahlukene ezifana nemithi, ama-polymers, ukudla nezolimo.
Esinye sezici eziyinhloko ze-succinic acid amandla ayo njengekhemikhali ye-biobased evuselelekayo.Ingakhiqizwa ngezinsiza ezivuselelekayo ezifana nomoba, ummbila kanye ne-biomass yemfucuza.Lokhu kwenza i-succinic acid ibe enye indlela ekhangayo kumakhemikhali asekelwe ku-petroleum, okunomthelela ekuthuthukisweni okusimeme kanye nokunciphisa imikhondo yekhabhoni.
I-Succinic acid inezakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu zamakhemikhali, okuhlanganisa ukuncibilika okuphezulu emanzini, utshwala, nezinye izincibilikisi eziphilayo.Isebenza kakhulu futhi ingakha ama-esters, usawoti kanye nokunye okuphuma kuyo.Lokhu kuguquguquka kwenza i-succinic acid ibe ukhiye omaphakathi ekukhiqizeni amakhemikhali ahlukahlukene, ama-polymers kanye nemithi.
