Novel chromatographic purification of succinic acid from whey fermentation broth by anionic exchange resins.

Replacement of the petroleum-based refineries with the biorefinery is regarded as an essential step towards a "zero" waste (circular) economy. Biobased succinic acid (SA) is listed by the United States Department of Energy among the top ten chemicals with the potential to replace chemicals from petroleum synthesis with renewable sources. Purification of bio-based succinic acid from fermentation by-products such as alcohols, formic acid, acetic acid and lactic is a major drawback of fermentative SA production.

Batch fermentation of succinic acid from cheese whey by under variant medium composition.

Bio-based succinic acid production has attracted global attention since its consideration as a potential replacement to petroleum-based platform chemicals. This study used three different CO sources, namely NaHCO, KCO and MgCO for fermentation of succinic acid (SA) by under three distinct substrate conditions i.e.
