Suspended Paraxylene Project in Xiamen Approved to Go Forward in Zhangzhou

摘要

Beijing-China's Ministry of Environmental Protection has approved Zhangzhou for a planned paraxylene plant, on which construction was halted in Xiamen, Fujian Province (PCN, 17 Mar 08, p 3). The Xiamen government in 2007 ordered Tenglong Aro-matics PX to suspend work on a 800,000-t/y paraxylene plant in heavily populated Xiamen after receiving numerous complaints about the project's potential environmental impact.
