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.
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.

The aim of this study was to develop an efficient thermochemical method for treatment of industrial hemp biomass, in order to increase its bioconversion to succinic acid. Industrial hemp was subjected to various thermochemical pretreatments using 0-3% H2SO4, NaOH or
