  • Succinic Acid
    ENVIRONMENTAL FACTSHEET: SUCCINIC ACID PRODUCT INFORMATION Succinic acid (COOH(CH2)2COOH) is a carboxylic acid used in food (as an acidulant), pharmaceutical (as an excipient), personal care (soaps) and chemical (pesticides, dyes and lacquers) industries. Bio-based succinic acid is seen as an important platform chemical for the production of biodegradable plastics and as a substitute of several chemicals (such as adipic acid) [1]. Lignocellulosic Crops and Starch Crops Sugar Crops Today succinic acid is mainly produced Type of Type Biomass Residues from fossil resources through maleic acid hydrogenation. It can also be produced through fermentation of sugars. In that Cultivation and Harvesting case, in addition to succinic acid, other Biomass carboxylic acids (such as lactic acid, formic Production acid, propionic acid) and alcohols (such as ethanol) are also obtained. The production Starch Sugar Pretreatment Extraction & Extraction & ratios of these by-product compounds Separation Separation depend on the microorganism strain used and on the operation conditions. Several Hemicellulose Food Food Feed companies and industrial consortiums Lignin Cellulose Starch Feed Saccharose started bio-based production of succinic acid at demonstration scale (up to 70 ktonnes/year of full capacity, per Hydrolysis production plant [2]). Two strategies are being used for succinic acid fermentation [1]: (1) Use of bacteria strains, isolated Glucose from rumen. This strains are excellent Biomass Conversion Biomass natural succinic acid producers and their yields can be improved, though metabolic engineering; (2) Use of well-known Fermentation industrial microorganisms (such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cervisiae) and modify their minor succinic acid production capability into high yields Succinic Acid through metabolic engineering.

  • Metabolic Engineering for Fumaric and Malic Acids Production
    Metabolic Engineering for Fumaric and Malic Acids Production Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Baohua Zhang, M.S. Ohio State Biochemistry Program The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Shang-Tian Yang, Advisor Professor Jeffrey Chalmers Professor Hua Wang Copyright by Baohua Zhang 2012 ABSTRACT Fumaric acid is a natural organic acid widely found in nature. With a chemical structure of two acid carbonyl groups and a trans-double bond, fumaric acid has extensive applications in the polymer industry, such as in the manufacture of polyesters, resins, plasticizers and miscellaneous applications including lubricating oils, inks, lacquers, styrenebutadiene rubber, etc. It is also used as acidulant in foods and beverages because of its nontoxic feature. Currently, fumaric acid is mainly produced via petrochemical processes with benzene or n-butane as the feedstock. However, with the increasing crude oil prices and concerns about the pollution problems caused by chemical synthesis, a sustainable, bio-based manufacturing process for fumaric acid production has attracted more interests in recent years. Rhizopus oryzae is a filamentous fungus that has been extensively studied for fumaric acid production. It produces fumaric acid from various carbon sources under aerobic conditions. Malic acid and ethanol are produced as byproducts, and the latter is accumulated mainly when oxygen is limited. Like most organic acid fermentations, the production of fumaric acid is limited by low productivity, yield and final concentration influenced by many factors including the microbial strain used and its morphology, medium composition, and neutralizing agents.

  • AP-42, CH 6.14: Maleic Anhydride
    6.14 Maleic Anhydride 6.14.1 General1 The dominant end use of maleic anhydride (MA) is in the production of unsaturated polyester resins. These laminating resins, which have high structural strength and good dielectric properties, have a variety of applications in automobile bodies, building panels, molded boats, chemical storage tanks, lightweight pipe, machinery housings, furniture, radar domes, luggage, and bathtubs. Other end products are fumaric acid, agricultural chemicals, alkyd resins, lubricants, copolymers, plastics, succinic acid, surface active agents, and more. In the United States, one plant uses only n-butane and another uses n-butane for 20 percent of its feedstock, but the primary raw material used in the production of MA is benzene. The MA industry is converting old benzene plants and building new plants to use n-butane. MA also is a byproduct of the production of phthalic anhydride. It is a solid at room temperature but is a liquid or gas during production. It is a strong irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes of the upper respiratory system. The model MA plant, as described in this section, has a benzene-to-MA conversion rate of 94.5 percent, has a capacity of 22,700 megagrams (Mg) (25,000 tons) of MA produced per year, and runs 8000 hours per year. Because of a lack of data on the n-butane process, this discussion covers only the benzene oxidation process. 6.14.2 Process Description2 Maleic anhydride is produced by the controlled air oxidation of benzene, illustrated by the following chemical reaction: V2O5 2C6H6 +9O2 >2C4H2O3+H2O+ 4CO2 MoO3 Benzene Oxygen Catalyst Maleic Water Carbon > anhydride dioxide Vaporized benzene and air are mixed and heated before entering the tubular reactor.

  • The Dissociation Constants of the Carboxyl and Hydroxyl Groups in Some Insoluble and Sol-Forming Polysaccharides
    The dissociation constants of the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in some insoluble and sol-forming polysaccharides By S. P. S a r i c a n d R. K. S c h o f i e l d Soil Physics Department, Rothamsted Experimental Station, Harpenden, Herts (i Communicated by B. A.Keen, F.R.S.—Received 26 October 1944) In order to establish the conditions under which the buffering of insoluble substance may most usefully be studied, suspensions of fibre cellulose, hemicellulose and xylan have been examined to determine the relationship between pH and the degree of dissociation of their carboxyl groups. The materials were suspended in normal potassium chloride solution, in order to confine local gradients of hydrion concentration to the immediate vicinity of each charged buffer group. Under these conditions the dissociation curves are all of the simple Henderson type with a common constant p K = 2*95 (n/100 hydrochloric acid in normal potassium chloride being taken as pH 2). Sols of arabic and pectic acid follow the same dissociation curve, showing that the dis­ sociation of the carboxyl groups is not necessarily influenced by the state of aggregation. Within the accuracy of these measurements, uronic and gluconic carboxyls have the same p K . The dissociation of pectic acid departs from the Henderson curve in the same general way as the dissociation curve of maleic acid differs from that of fumaric acid. It is suggested that some of the carboxyls in pectic acid are linked by hydrogen bridges. To a less extent such linkage may also occur in alginic acid below pH 3 when a gel is formed.

  • Transient Kinetics of N-Butane Oxidation to Maleic Anhydride Over a VPO Catalyst
    http://www.paper.edu.cn Transient Kinetics of n-Butane Oxidation to Maleic Anhydride over a VPO Catalyst Xiao-Feng Huang, Cheng-Yue Li, and Biao-Hua Chen The Key Laboratory of Science and Technology of Controllable Chemical Reactions, Ministry of Education, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijng 100029, China P. L. Silveston Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Transient reaction kinetics is usually needed to model the reactor system operated under unsteady-state mode to impro®e the performance of the catalyst packed in such a reactor system and to match operating conditions of different reaction steps in this system. The transient reaction kinetics of n-butane oxidation to maleic anhydride o®er a commercial VPO catalyst was systematically studied, using online MSrGC measure- ments, transient response, and forced periodic operation methods. A simplified scheme with respect to the reaction network is proposed based on the pre®ious studies and the obser®ations in this work. Combining the results on the roles of lattice and adsorbed oxygen in the reaction process with the data obtained in transient response experiments, a transient kinetic model taking account of the oxygen storage and diffusion in the bulk-phase of the catalyst was introduced and its parameters were estimated. The model was examined by the transient response experimental data and time-a®erage concentra- tions of butane and maleic anhydride under forced unsteady-state operation.

Burnett, Senior Scientific Writer/Analyst Date: May 19, 2017 Subject: Re-Review on Malic Acid and Sodium Malate Enclosed is the Re-Review of the Safety Assessment of Malic Acid and Sodium Malate as Used in Cosmetics. (It is identified as maacid062017rep in the pdf document). The CIR published the Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Malic Acid and Sodium Malate in 2001. Based on the available animal and clinical data available at that time, the Panel concluded that Malic Acid and Sodium Malate are safe for use as pH adjusters in cosmetic formulations; however, the Panel determined that the data were insufficient to determine the safety of these ingredients for any other functions.
