Bio-based succinic acid is produced from renewable resources such as corn starch via microbial fermentation. Global production capacity is projected to reach approximately 1.19 million tons by 2026. The primary domestic manufacturer is Shandong Zuding Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.

[i] What is biotin dioxide?

Bio-based succinic acid, also known as succinic acid, is an important binary carboxylic acid, chemical formula C4H6O4. Unlike traditional petroleum glycosides, bioglycosides are made from renewable resources (such as cornstarch, glucose, xylitol, glycerin, etc.) as raw materials and are prepared through microbial fermentation.

[II] The main advantages of biotin dioxide include:

1. Production costs are low and raw materials are abundant.

2. A large amount of carbon dioxide is consumed in the production process, which has the advantages of energy saving, emission reduction and green environmental protection.

The overall performance is better and meets the carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets.

Industry standards specify that the bisic acid content of biobased bisic acid is required to be ≥ 99.5%, and the biobased content is ≥ 90%.

[iii] Main application areas:

Biotin dioxide has a wide range of applications, mainly including:

1. Degradable plastics: As the core raw material of polybutylene succinate (PBS), PBST, PBSA and other degradable plastics, every ton of PBS needs to consume 0.6-0.7 tons of succinic acid.

2. In the field of medicine: As a pharmaceutical intermediate, it is used in the synthesis of antibacterial drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. It has good biocompatibility and can be used as a drug carrier.

3. Food and agriculture: used as an acidity regulator, antioxidant and yeast nutritional agent in the food industry; In agriculture, it is used to produce plant growth regulators and microbial fertilizers.

4.Chemical materials: Used for the synthesis of 1,4-butyl glycol (BDO), tetrahydrofuran, γ-butyrolactone and other chemical products, as well as plasticizers, resins and coatings.

Other applications: fragrances, surfactants, clothing biofibre materials, etc.
