Chemical reactions on the Yangtze
Tuesday, 18, May 2010


In the rolling hills alongside the Three Gorges reservoir, on a Tiananmen Square-sized plot of land, stands a sign marking the site of an “Integrated MDI Project” in the village of Baishi. On completion, this will be home to the world’s largest Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate plant and the villagers all know that German chemical giant BASF is on the way.Media reports have reflected the strength of reaction to the choice of location, with some environmentalists calling it a “timebomb” at the head of the Three Gorges.

BASF’s project here in the municipality of Chongqing, central China, is just one example of the rush to invest in the region’s chemical industry. Chinese firms PetroChina and Sinosteel are also among the host of chemical giants setting up locally. It is anyone’s guess what the Yangtze River will look like in five years time.Environmental issues have been a concern ever since the Three Gorges became a reservoir and remain so.
