Succinic acid (SA) is a significant dicarboxylic acid, generally known as butanedioic acid or amber acid . SA market is going to increase due to its usage in food and chemical industry mainly as an acidity regulator. The 7% growth rate of SA in the period 2019 to 2025 is estimated . Rather than other synthetic methods of production of SA, fermentation process taking attention due to environmental concern . In fermentation process, A. succinogenes, M. succiniciproducens and A. succiniciproducens microorganisms used for efficient SA production . The SA produced from fermentation broth is in aqueous form and need to recover the acid. The separation and purification of the desired product are difficult because sometimes the concentration of acid in water produced is less than 10% by weight and the affinities between water and acid are very strong . As a result, the downstream process for acid purification consumes nearly 60% of the total production cost . There are numerous techniques developed __________________ for downstream process like precipitation, adsorption, distillation, membrane-based separation and solvent extraction . Among the various methods available for the down streaming process, reactive extraction is efficient and effective method of separation. It is a more attractive novel technique wherein the reaction accomplished between extractant and acid in an aqueous phase . Kertes and King divided extractants used for reactive extraction into three parts (i) Carbon-bonded oxygen-donor extractants (ii) Phosphorus-bonded oxygen donor extractants and (iii) Aliphatic amine extractants .
