Building industrial raw material base relying on calcium carbide
Wenchuan, the epicenter of the May 12 earthquake, is the main industrial base of Aba Prefecture, known as the industrial and economic corridor of Aba Prefecture; Yingxiu, the other epicenter, is one of the three major industrial towns of Aba Prefecture. It is estimated that the industrial economic loss in Aba Prefecture alone is more than 30 billion yuan. ABA is rich in mineral resources, so many enterprises mainly produce and sell industrial raw materials. For example, ABA is rich in calcium carbide, which is the main raw material for the production of resin and PVC pipes. Many people's resin glasses and domestic water pipes are gradually refined from industrial silicon in Aba Prefecture. Aba Prefecture has 5 calcium carbide enterprises, with a capacity of 600000 tons per year. 60% - 70% of industrial silicon is supplied to Xin'an Co., Ltd., Jinlu group and other listed companies. ABA Shunxin smelting Co., Ltd. mainly produces calcium carbide. In the earthquake, enterprises with total assets of about 160 million lost 100 million. It seems helpless for reconstruction. "This industry itself is a restricted industry. To this extent, we need to give up and wait for state news. "Among the types of enterprises in Aba Prefecture, hydropower enterprises account for about 81%, energy consumption industries account for about 17%, and other agricultural and sideline product processing, pharmaceutical and other industries account for about 2% to 3%. At present, the world's largest bauxite enterprise, Chongqing bosai Group invested 1.2 billion yuan to build an aluminum plant in Aba plant, which was seriously damaged by the earthquake. Alumina, lithium hydroxide, calcium carbide and other products can be expanded to 2000 kinds of downstream products. Therefore, in the first three years of post disaster reconstruction, Aba Prefecture's economic positioning is the national industrial raw material production base. Three years later, after the key enterprises become bigger and stronger, they will develop downstream product production in Aba Prefecture and form three industrial clusters.
