TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic kinetics of succinic acid from aqueous solution with 1-octanol solutions of tri-n-octylamine (TOA) were carried out using a stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobic membrane.
Abstract: Kinetic studies for the extraction of succinic acid from aqueous solution with 1‐octanol solutions of tri‐n‐octylamine (TOA) were carried out using a stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobic membrane. The interfacial concentrations of species were correlated and thus the intrinsic kinetics was obtained. The overall extraction process was controlled by the chemical reaction at or near the interface between the aqueous and organic phases. The formation reaction of succinic acid‐TOA complex was found to be first order with respect to the concentration of succinic acid in the aqueous phase and the order of 0.5 with respect to that of TOA in the organic phase with a rate constant of (3.14 ± 0.6) × 10−8 m2.5·mol−0.5·s−1. The dissociation reaction of succinic acid‐TOA complex was found to be the second‐order with respect to that of succinic acid‐TOA complex in the organic phase and the order of –2 with respect to that of TOA in the organic phase with a rate constant of (1.44 ± 1.4) × 10−4 mol·m−2·s−1.

TL;DR: In-situ removal of carboxylic acid by extraction during fermentation is the most popular approach, but recovery of the extractant can easily lead to waste inorganic salt formation, which counteracts the advantage of the in-Situ removal.

Abstract: Succinate has been recognized as an important platform chemical that can be produced from biomass. While a number of organisms are capable of succinate production naturally, this review focuses on the engineering of Escherichia coli for the production of four-carbon dicarboxylic acid. Important features of a succinate production system are to achieve an optimal balance of reducing equivalents generated by consumption of the feedstock, while maximizing the amount of carbon channeled into the product. Aerobic and anaerobic production strains have been developed and applied to production from glucose and other abundant carbon sources. Metabolic engineering methods and strain evolution have been used and supplemented by the recent application of systems biology and in silico modeling tools to construct optimal production strains. The metabolic capacity of the production strain, the requirement for efficient recovery of succinate, and the reliability of the performance under scaleup are important in the overall process. The costs of the overall biorefinery-compatible process will determine the economic commercialization of succinate and its impact in larger chemical markets.

TL;DR: A review on reactive extraction of carboxylic acids from fermentation broths is presented in this article, where reactive extraction is found to be a capable option to the proper recovery methods.
Abstract: The prospective function of a novel energy efficient fermentation technology has been getting great attention in the past fifty years due to the quick raise in petroleum costs. Fermentation chemicals are still limited in the modern market in huge part because of trouble in recovery of carboxylic acids. Therefore, it is needed considerable development in the current recovery technology. Carboxylic acids have been used as the majority of fermentation chemicals. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the reactive extraction of carboxylic acids from fermentation broths. This paper principally focuses on reactive extraction that is found to be a capable option to the proper recovery methods.

TL;DR: High distribution ratios are measured when long-chain tertiary amines are employed as extractants, forming bulky salts preferentially soluble in the organic phase, and the extractive transfer process obeys the Nernst law.
Abstract: Within the framework of a program aiming to improve the existing extractive recovery technology of fermentation products, the state of the art is critically reviewed. The acids under consideration are propionic, lactic, pyruvic, succinic, fumaric, maleic, malic, itaconic, tartaric, citric, and isocitric, all obtained by the aerobic fermentation of glucose via the glycolytic pathway and glyoxylate bypass. With no exception, it is the undissociated monomeric acid that is extracted into carbon-bonded and phosphorus-bonded oxygen donor extractants. In the organic phase, the acids are usually dimerized. The extractive transfer process obeys the Nernst law, and the measured partition coefficients range from about 0.003 for aliphatic hydrocarbons to about 2 to 3 for aliphatic alcohols and ketones to about 10 or more for organophosphates. Equally high distribution ratios are measured when long-chain tertiary amines are employed as extractants, forming bulky salts preferentially soluble in the organic phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the extraction of acetic, lactic, succinic, malonic, fumaric, and maleic acids by Alamine 336, an aliphatic, tertiary amine extractant, dissolved in various diluents, were interpreted by a chemical modeling approach, in which the stoichiometries of acid-amine complexes and corresponding equilibrium constants were determined.
Abstract: Studies have been made of the extraction of acetic, lactic, succinic, malonic, fumaric, and maleic acids by Alamine 336, an aliphatic, tertiary amine extractant, dissolved in various diluents. The results were interpreted by a «chemical modeling» approach, in which the stoichiometries of acid-amine complexes and corresponding equilibrium constants which best represent the experimental results were determined. The acids studied differed in pK a and in the presence or absence of functional groups other than the primary carboxyl group. Diluents were chosen from different chemical classes − electron donating, electron accepting, polar, and nonpolar − so as to examine the effects of diluent-complex interactions. These interactions were found to affect both the stoichiometry of reaction and the magnitudes of the corresponding equilibrium constants

TL;DR: Succinic acid can be produced with much less by-product formation by using glycerol as a carbon source, which will facilitate its purification, according to the gram ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid.
Abstract: Succinic acid was produced by fermentation of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens using glycerol as a carbon source. When cells were anaerobically cultured in a medium containing 6.5 g/L glycerol, a high succinic acid yield (133%) was obtained while avoiding the formation of by-product acetic acid. The gram ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid was 25.8:1, which is 6.5 times higher than that obtained using glucose (ca. 4:1) as a carbon source. Therefore, succinic acid can be produced with much less by-product formation by using glycerol as a carbon source, which will facilitate its purification. When glucose and glycerol were cofermented with the increasing ratio of glucose to glycerol, the gram ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid and succinic acid yield decreased, suggesting that glucose enhanced acetic acid formation irrespective of the presence of glycerol. Glycerol consumption by A. succiniciproducens required unidentified nutritional components present in yeast extract. By intermittently feeding yeast extract along with glycerol, a high succinic acid yield (160%) could be obtained while still avoiding acetic acid formation. This resulted in the highest ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid (31.7:1).
