Abstract

See full text

A method for measuring the thermal stability of succinic acid includes the following steps: 1) preparing a succinic acid crystal powder having less than 1% residual water content; 2) placing 10 g of the crystal powder in an oven at 220° C. for 2 hours; 3) pulverizing and sieving the crystal powder processed in this way, such that the particle size distribution thereof is between 0 and 10%, and preferably between 4 and 6% for particles larger than 500 μm in size, between 20 and 40%, and preferably between 25 and 35% for particles between 200 and 500 μm in size, between 50 and 75% and preferably between 55 and 70% for particles smaller than 200 μm in size; and 4) measuring the color, in a spectrocolorimeter, of the pulverized and sieved powder and determining the average value of the yellow (index “b”).
