TALK OF THE MONTH
BILL GATES’ SKEPTICISM ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY
AND PM’s TARGET OF 175 GW BY 2022
On a careful reading of the speech of Bill Gates, his admirers may give him the benefit of the doubt
and state that he was just thinking aloud and even before crystallising his thoughts, he blurted out his
views in a premature manner. There is no doubt that the negative views of Bill Gates on renewable
energy are ill advised and certainly is not in tune with the reputation that he commands.
At the same time, it is gratifying to note that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fixed
renewable energy target of 175 GW for the year 2022, during his recent speech in the Paris Climate
Conference.
Given the past experience in India of fixing the target and not achieving them even half way on
several occasions, many people may suspect that the Prime Minister may be unreasonably ambitious.
Perhaps, those who admire Narendra Modi for his capability to think big and his habit of announcing
tall targets in dramatic manner, may say that the Prime Minister has fixed target of 175 GW of
renewable energy by 2022, with the objective of enthusing the countrymen to work towards such
big target and work hard to achieve it. Probably, he has thrown the target as the challenge for the
Indian administrators, scientists and technologists.
However, a careful analysis of renewable energy potential in India would make it evident that such
target of 175 GW is reasonable, much needed and well within the achievable capability of India.
Present scenario and the huge target:
The present scenario is that India has around 38, O96 MW of renewable power, consisting of wind
power of 24,677 MW, solar power of 4579 MW, the small hydropower of 4161MW, biopower of
455O MW and waste to the power of 127 MW.
Given the target of 175 GW by 2022 and the present capacity of around 38 GW, India needs to
build renewable energy capacity of around 19 GW every year between 2016 and 2022. Is it possible?
It is possible if Modi government would be able to pursue the task with great determination, focused
attention, innovative approach and creation of appropriate public opinion in favour of such target.
By fixing the target of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, Narendra Modi has placed himself and
his governance capability on trial.
India has the onshore wind power potential of around 103 GW.With around 7600 km of coastal
line, India has the potential of around 350GW of offshore wind power.
India has the advantage in terms of higher solar radiation compared to countries such as Germany,
USA, Japan, Australia, Italy, which have made significant progress in solar power segment in the
recent years. Potential of solar power in India is as high as 5000 million kilowatt-hours per year.
Small hydropower potential in India is around 20 GW.
Even the pledged admirers of Bill Gates, widely acclaimed as the greatest innovator and
philanthropist of present time, would be surprised to know about the skepticism of Bill Gates
on the potential benefits of renewable energy for saving countries like India from an impending
energy crisis and to provide the ecological gains to mankind by ensuring reduction in use of
fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas) that cause global warming.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 4
BILL GATES’ SKEPTICISM ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY AND PM’s TARGET OF 175 GW BY 2022
Obviously, Modi government has to largely rely on the capacity build up of wind power and solar
power to achieve the target of 175 GW by 2022. It has fixed target of 100 GW of solar power by
2022.
Challenges ahead:
There are challenges ahead and obviously Narendra Modi must be aware of this daunting task when
he fixed the target of 175 GW by 2022.
One MW of solar power capacity needs the land area of around 5 to 7.5 acres. Similar extent of land
area would be required for onshore wind power also.This means that more than one lakh acre of
land has to be made available for building up around 19000 MW(19 GW) of renewable power
capacity every year. Such land has to be acquired without disturbing agriculture farm holdings.
Of course, there are lakhs of acres of unused and wasted land available in the country and such land
has to be identified and put to use for building up the renewable power projects. The suitability of
the land for the purpose also need to be ascertained.
Another big challenge is the building up of grid capacity in tune with the capacity build up for
renewable power so that the generated power can be handled.
Building up of the capacity of 19 GW per year and creating the required additional grid capacity will
call for an investment of around Rs.1,50,000 crores per year. As the year 2016 will commence in the
next few days, we see a scenario where no provision has been made to have the necessary
investment to build the envisaged renewable energy capacity every year.
There are other issues such as an absence of any production capacity in the country for
polycrystalline silicon, which is one of the essential input material for solar cell. One MW of solar
power capacity would need 20 tonne of polycrystalline silicon.
Though some initial steps have been taken to build offshore wind power project in the coastal
region of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, it is still in very preliminary stage.
Let the nation strive to achieve the target:
While one can say that Narendra Modi’s target is technically achievable and the doomsayers would
very much doubt that the target can be achieved, the nation would be well advised to believe that
target would be possible and it should strive towards achieving the target to the best of its ability,
notwithstanding whatever may be the views of Bill Gates
SOLAR POWER PRICE TREND IN INDIA
2010: The first round of National Solar Mission auction saw bids between Rs.10.95 per unit and
Rs.12.76 per unit.
2011: Second round saw bids between Rs.7.49 per unit and Rs.9.39 per unit.
2012: Fourth round of bidding took place; lowest bid was Rs.7 per unit
2013: Foreign investors entered. Six auctions took place with some “outliers” bidding below
Rs.5 per unit.
2014: Large projects were bid out with Rs.7 per unit as the average bid.
2015: Andhra Pradesh solar park bagged by SunEdison at record low of Rs.4.63 per unit. Companies
bidding below Rs.5 per unit increased

NEED FOR APPROPRIATE POLICY
WITH REGARD TO ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES
Practices abroad :
A number of industrial accidents do take place around the world. Inevitably, they are followed by
detailed enquiry. In some cases, the factory management have been judged as not complying with
the regulations or negligence and heavy penalty were imposed.
Closure of factories as an impulse decision of the authorities are never allowed. If factories were to
be closed, it would be done only after conducting detailed enquiry and based on the findings. In
many large global companies such as DuPont, BASF and others, accidents have taken place, but
they were never asked to be closed.
However, in the case of medium and large companies , the executives are rarely arrested .
In the case of public sector units ,when accident takes place, the Pollution Control Boards never
order closure of units and the police never arrest the directors.
It is reported that the employees were working in the production block located in the
3rd floor of the factory, when fire broke out after hexane spilled over from a tank.
The employee who tried to remove the chemical with the help of a bucket was charred to
death in the fire.
A day after the accident , Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) served the
closure order on Shasun Pharmaceuticals Limited’s Cuddalore plant for non compliance of
conditions.
Immediately after the accident , local politicians agitated against the unit. An NGO said that
closure of the unit was a welcome move and it insisted that the government should also
prosecute the people responsible for the accident.
Governments do not seem to have any specific policy, as to how the industrial acts should
be viewed and tackled.
Recently, a grave accident has taken place in the factory
belonging to Shasun Pharmaceuticals Limited at
Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, One person was charred to
death and three others were injured in a fire that broke
out in the shop floor.
Lack of consistent policy in India :
In India, in the case of many small units such as small
explosive units, fire cracker units in places like Sivakasi in
Tamil Nadu , in the event of an accident ,the owners and
directors are immediately arrested by the local police,
even before conducting an enquiry and they are put
behind the bar for several days
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 6
NEED FOR APPROPRIATE POLICY WITH REGARD TO ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES
Obviously, authorities have different yardsticks and seem to be making distinction between small
units and big units and between the public sector and private sector units, in viewing the industrial
accidents. Several case studies can be readily pointed out to illustrate such conditions.
Knee jerk reaction
The decision of TNPCB to order the cutting of power supply and total closure of the chemical
factory of Shasun Pharmaceuticals Ltd at Cuddalore appear to be a kneejerk reaction.
Closure of such unit would inevitably render the unit sick, cause loss of employment for people
and loss to several organizations who depend on Shasun Pharmaceuticals for sourcing products etc.
This will also lead to loss of income to the state by way of taxes and duties.
Any punitive action should be preceded by quick enquiry and submission of convincing analysis of the
cause for the accident, which should be made known to the public.
Need for appropriate policy towards industrial accidents
Government of India should carefully examine the accidents in the industries and evolve a policy
approach as to how to handle such situations by government agencies. It should not be left to the
local police or the Pollution Control Boards to take a view as it deem fit in it’s wisdom.
It is possible that different persons at different times in these bodies may take different view.
Appropriate government policy is necessary to view the issue in proper perspective , so that the
kneejerk reaction of the government agencies would not result in industrial promoters developing
cold feet in promoting and running industrial projects.
It is necessary that detailed investigation should be conducted
wherever and whenever such accidents take place. Immediate
closure of the unit even before detailed enquiry, appear to be a
case of arbitrary use of power by TNPCB. There are number of
statutory bodies like TNPCB and Inspectorate of Factories etc.
who are supposed to monitor the safety standard of all
industrial units. One wonders as to what is the responsibility of
such statutory bodies in the case of such safety issues.
Shasun Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has excellent track record and it is
an important producer of sophisticated pharmaceutical products,
which are exported around the world . It’s unit at Cuddalore has
approval of its facilities from US based FDI and several other
overseas organizations of standing.
Conduct quick enquiry :
Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) should realize that
it’s responsibility to ensure environmental standards should not
be viewed in isolated manner and it should have holistic outlook.
Certainly, TNPCB should not approach the issue as if the
factories in which accident take place should be suspected.
On the other hand, it should realise that such accidents may take
place in spite of the precautions taken by the units and safety
measures implemented.

INDIA'S CRUDE OIL OUTPUT SCENARIO
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Target
The Government of India has set a target of cutting oil import dependence by 10% in next seven
years, as it hopes to reverse the decline in domestic oil output through a slew of policy measures,
fresh investments and technological interventions.
But the Paris-based agency has poured cold water over the government's plan, underlining in its
`India Energy Outlook' report that low quality reserves and insufficient policy responses will make
the country more dependent on crude oil import.
Crude oil production will fall 3.5% annually to 0.3 million barrels a day (mbd) in 2040 from 0.7 mbd
in 2013, as per the IEA, turning India into the second largest oil importer, behind China. During this
period, oil demand in India will grow 4.6% annually, as per the projection.
“The boost to output due to discoveries in Rajasthan subsides by 2020 and although additional
onshore discoveries of the magnitude seen in Rajasthan are not excluded, neither these nor the
envisaged development of new reserves from the offshore basins are sufficient to outweigh the
effects of declining production from existing fields,“ the report said.
The oil block in Rajasthan, operated by Cairn India, contributes about a quarter to the country's
crude output. Most other contributions come mainly from the fields operated by state-run Oil and
Natural Gas Corporation and Oil India.
Mismatch between resources and needs
Proven reserves of 5.7 billion barrels against an annual crude demand of 1.4 billion barrels and
increasing every year, underline the “stark“ mismatch between domestic resources and needs of the
country, the agency said.
Dismal overseas investment
India's record in attracting big investments to the upstream sector has been dismal.
Of the 254 blocks awarded under the New Exploration and Licensing Policy in about 15 years, only
128 discoveries have been made and 11 fields developed.
BP is perhaps the only global oil firm that has currently invested in the upstream sector.
Import
By 2040, India's import will rise to 90% of the overall oil
demand from 70% at present, according to the IEA.
Production
India's crude oil production fell marginally in 2014-15 and was
about the same in the seven months of the current fiscal as
that a year ago period.
India's crude oil production will continue to fall in the next quarter century despite the
government's ambitious targets, declining to less than half the current output as new reserves fail
to compensate for the decay in existing fields, the International Energy Agency has said.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 8
INDIA'S CRUDE OIL OUTPUT SCENARIO - FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Policy measures
The government of India has just announced new financial terms to attract developers for
69 marginal fields set to be auctioned next year and plans to replicate these terms in its policy being
finalised for major blocks. But low oil prices can dampen investor interest.
“Getting the incentives right for an increase in exploratory activity, through sufficiently attractive
licensing and pricing arrangements, may have only a limited effect on India's oil balance, but it could
have a much more significant impact on the domestic gas supply,“ the agency said.
Natural gas scenario
According to the IEA, natural gas output will increase to 89 billion cubic meters (BCM) in 2040 from
35 BCM in 2013, with a 3.6% growth a year. About 80 BCM of natural gas will have to be imported
to meet local demand in 2040.
Most gas produced in India is priced according to a formula set by the government last year,
according to which the local prices have dropped a quarter since March, tracking global decline.
The gas price will climb from about $4 per unit now to $7 in 2025 and $9 in 2040, according to the
agency.

REPORT ON “CRUDE OIL PRICE FALL - WILL INDIA’S EUPHORIA CONTINUE “?
Nandini Consultancy Centre, a firm of chemical engineers and chemical business consultants based at Chennai and Singapore, has released well researched report on “Crude oil price fall - Will India’s euphoria continue ? “ Focus of the report Global crude oil price fall in recent months has surprised even the discerning observers. Now, there is world wide debate as to what has caused the crude price fall and whether the price fall would persist and how long. This research report recommends that India should use this opportunity to work out it’s short term and long term strategies for crude oil sourcing and pricing. A few appropriate strategies have been suggested:

WHAT STRATEGIES FOR CHINESE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL SLOW DOWN ? Swaminathan Venkataraman,Director,Nandini Consultancy (S) Pte Ltd, Singapore
China is dominant consumer in the global market
In the last decade, China has been largely driving the demand in the world market, due to the
ambitious growth target set for itself by Government of China, it’s aggressive investment approach
and steady opening of the Chinese economy. China has led the growth in consumption of important
commodities during the past decade.
The fact that China is dominant consumer of several core commodities in the world. can be readily
understood from the following data.
Product China’s share of global consumption
Aluminium 54%
Nickel 50%
Copper 48%
Zinc 46%
Tin 46%
Steel 45%
Lead 40%
Cotton 31%
Rice 30%
Gold 23%
Corn 22%
Wheat 17%
Oil 12%
Sugar 10%
Palm oil 10%
Natural gas 6%
China’s large share of global consumption only highlight the fact that the world economy can not
grow, without the Chinese economy growing.
Though the challenges facing Chinese chemical industry today due to global slow down are
formidable, they are well manageable.
Capacity utilization of Chinese chemical industry has to be significantly increased.
Obviously, China has to penetrate the export market even in a bigger way to sustain its
growth and improve capacity utilization level. Appropriate strategies for export market
penetration have to be carefully worked out and implemented.
The recent slow down in the world economy is real, which is
largely attributed to the slow down in the Chinese economy.
This view, obviously, implies that China is the main driver for
the global economy today and the happenings in China will
decisively influence the global developments and prospects.
The world has realized this and industries in China and
particularly chemical industry, can be justifiably proud of such
recognition of China’s importance in the global arena.

Challenges in environmental front
Increasingly stringent regulations to protect the environment are expected to challenge the chemical
industry in China.
Some companies may need to relocate to a designated industrial zone, some need to upgrade their
facilities to meet the new emission standards, while others may be forced to shut down plants in
case of severe air pollution.
In addition, new projects will not be approved, if the emission cap of a region or industrial zone has
reached its limit.
Capacity creation efforts and the issues
With the large size of the country and having biggest population amongst any country in the world,
China made massive investment during the last decade with the expectations that the expanding
Chinese domestic market will absorb the new capacities to a considerable extent. Probably, China
has also calculated that the massive capacity creation in diversified industrial sector, would enable it
to “dominate and over power” the world market.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 11
WHAT STRATEGIES FOR CHINESE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL SLOW DOWN ?
Such expectations of China have been largely sustained until the last few years. However, such trend
has not been maintained at the same pace in recent time.
Growth in China has now been hit by the build up in imbalances by huge capacity creation that are
much larger than the demand level and around an investment/manufacturing led growth model that
is now found to be difficult to sustain.
As the market growth in China could not absorb the rapid increase in production and the growth
rate in the global market being much lesser than that of China, in recent time, there is no
alternative other than reducing the production itself by several companies operating in China,
causing low capacity utilization.
Such drop in production has to continue for some time, until the demand would pick up in the
Chinese and the global market.
Chinese chemical industries doing comparatively better

India 2.5 % 3.9 % 5.8 %
South Korea 2.4 % 3.7 % 4.4 %
Japan 1.4 % 1.5 % 2.2 %
While the growth in Chinese chemical industry are showing signs of slow down, Chinese chemical
industry are still growing much better than chemical industry in other regions.
Net result is the scenario that China’s pain has become the world’s pain and world industry and
economy cannot untangle itself from China in the immediate future.
Dependence of other countries on
China to sustain their growth
China has been recording spectacular
growth and has been building
infrastructure and factories. Apart from
Government’s projects and that of
private sector, several multinational
companies have been investing millions
of dollars in China in building projects.
In such circumstances, China has not
only been a dominant exporter but it
has also been a dominant importer and
consumer. In other words, the global
growth is decisively influenced by the
happenings and development oriented
activities in China.

Australia

Slowdown in Chinese consumption of industrial commodities has led to sharp slowdown in capital
investment in Australian economy .
Multinational companies will continue to bet on China
Several large, multinational companies report that their revenues in China have fallen or stagnated
recently, but they remain optimistic about the prospects and opportunities in the Chinese market
and continue to invest in the country.
BASF reports sales of €5.5 billion ($6.25 billion) in Greater China in 2014, unchanged from 2013.
BASF plans to invest €10 billion together with its partners during 2013–20 to strengthen its
production footprint in Asia/Pacific and a significant portion will go to China.
Dependence of multinational companies on China
Attracted by the growing Chinese economy due to
massive investments promoted by government of China in
infrastructure and other areas and consequent growth in
the market ( whose growth have been far above the
growth in any other country in the last ten years), and
given the fact that European market is nearly stagnant,
multinational companies rushed to China with their
investment and technologies to exploit the opportunities
in the Chinese market .
In the process, the future business prospects of
multinational companies and that of China’s economy got
considerably interlinked.
The present ground reality is that no country in the world
or any multinational company can ignore China, while
chalking out the business plans and strategies in the
foreseeable future.

Coal to olefins
More than a half of new Chinese capacity will be coal or methanol based.
The first coal to olefins (CTO) unit, operated by Shenhua Baotou, started commercial operations in
2010, and eight more CTO and two more methanol to olefins (MTO) crackers had been built in
China by the end of 2014
Another 18 CTO and 8 MTO units will start up in the next five years. Total CTO and MTO
ethylene will rise to about 9 million metric tonne per year of ethylene by 2020.
Naphtha crackers
Three naphtha crackers are scheduled to start up by 2020: CNOOC’s one million metric tonne per
year unit at Huizhou, Sinopec Hainan’s one million metric tonne per year unit at Hainan and
Shanghai Petrochemical’s 600,000 metric tonne per year unit at Jinshan.
Propylene
China will add 10 million metric tonne per year of new propylene capacity over the next two years,
increasing its propylene self sufficiency from 64% in 2014 to 85% in 2017.
China will continue to be a dynamic market
After passing through a period of spectacular growth, China has now entered a period of more
moderate growth, that would lead to rationalization of capacity in China, supported by several
proactive measures of the government of China.
China is still seen as centre of growth by the entire world, despite slowdown in recent times.
In spite of the present slowdown, the fact is that China continues to grow though at lesser pace,
compared to the “feverish” level in the recent past.
China remains a dynamic market full of opportunities despite growth shifting into a lower gear,
especially since the country is seeking to improve the quality of its economic and social
development.
Dow intends to continue over the next few years
evaluating and investing to expand the company’s
manufacturing, innovation and operational networks in
China.
Mitsubishi says that it has invested in new projects in
China in the past five years and is considering further
investments in the country.
Capacity build up in China continues
It is gratifying to note that inspite of the several issues,
capacity build up in various chemical industries in
China are continuing. A few examples are given below.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 15
WHAT STRATEGIES FOR CHINESE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL SLOW DOWN ?
The Chinese government is calling for a higher level of technology and innovation, industrial
upgrading, and environmental protection, which will bring more opportunities to industries in China
and multinational companies.
Sustainability and the transformation of the industry are on top of the national agenda.The need for
sustainable housing is a key element of China’s New Urbanization Plan and the share of green
buildings among newly constructed buildings will be raised, which will positively impact the chemical
market not only in China but around the world.
The target GDP growth rate for 2015 is 7%, and this adjusted GDP growth rate reflects the
government’s determination to improve the quality of growth and to ensure that growth can be
achieved sustainably. China’s GDP is likely to grow 6.5% in 2015 and 6.3% in 2016 before returning
to 6.5% in 2017. These compare with 7.4% GDP growth in 2014 and 7.7% in 2013.
As world trade, exclusively of China, is not a significant driver of growth, China has to rely on
increased domestic consumption as a more reliable source of growth. The key question is how fast
domestic consumption in China can grow to adequately replace fixed asset investment growth in
the economy.
With the advantage of strong capacity build up and such trend continuing in a measured way.
Chinese chemical industry have to retain their present advantages in the global market.This can be
done by effectively penetrating the global market with aggressive and organized efforts.
One of the prerequisites for strong export penetration is to have adequate marketing and
distribution network in various countries across the world. Such distribution network need to have
the capability to extend technical services support to the existing and potential consumers in the
global market.
Today, there are not many export oriented chemical trading houses in China that are comparable
to global standards.
What Chinese chemical industry should do now ?
A dispassionate analysis of the trends and happenings of
chemical industry in China would clearly reveal the fact
that Chinese chemical industry are progressing in
positive direction and there is no reason to alter the
basic approach.
Chinese chemical industry has done well in technology
development front, choice of appropriate projects for
capacity build up, creating right climate for overseas
investment and in acquisition of assets abroad and setting
up of joint ventures in different countries. Such proactive
approach have done lot of good to Chinese chemical
industry and such strategies should continue.
Of course, some fine tunings are required. Some
industries need to shed capacity to bring profitability and
pricing power back and make the balance sheet healthy.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 16
WHAT STRATEGIES FOR CHINESE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL SLOW DOWN ?
The growing burden of health, safety, and environmental regulations—including Europe’s
Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals legislation—is forcing some of
the smaller distributors in the world to quit the business or be acquired by larger competitors that
can absorb the regulatory costs. Acquisitions have traditionally been a key component of
distributors’ growth strategies globally. Chinese chemical industry should try to acquire the global
trading houses to make quick and significant export penetration.
The global distribution industry remains highly fragmented. Therefore, potential for Merger and
Acquisition (M&A) opportunities are plentiful, enabling the biggest and financially strongest
distributors to act as consolidators.
There were 49 M&A deals in the chemical distribution sector worldwide in 2014, up sharply from
the 32 transactions in the previous year. The highest number of deals were in Europe and North
America and almost two thirds of them were made by companies with annual sales greater than
€500 million.For example Brenntag’s long standing M&A policy is to spend, on average, about €250
million per year on acquisitions and it is continuing trend.
Chinese chemical industry should remain focused on gaining strong foot hold in the global chemical
distribution industry, commensurate with its size and the range of chemical products that it
presently produces. Obviously, Chinese chemical industry has to give greater importance to
promote globally competitive trading activities in China, than what it has done so far.

FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP)
WHAT SHOULD BE GOVERNMENT’S APPROACH TO GM CROPS ?
GM SCENARIO IN INDIA
Pest attack on GM cotton
However, recently, it has been reported that genetically modified cotton crop in Punjab and Haryana
states have been affected by pest attack. This has shocked the cotton farmers, as Monsanto, the
original developer of genetically modified cotton seed, has claimed that genetically modified cotton
would be totally pest resistant. Such pest attack on genetically modified cotton in Punjab and
Haryana have caused serious set back to cotton cultivation in the two states and even suicides by
cotton farmers in the states have been reported.
As Monsanto is reported to have sold genetically modified cotton seed to around 7 million farmers
in India, pest attack on genetically modified cotton has to be viewed very seriously.
Proposal to consider GM maize
At present, it is reported that Government of India is examining a proposal to accord permission for
the cultivation of genetically modified maize.
Approval for trial
The Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee at the Government of India has approved a dozen
GM crops rice, castor, cotton, wheat, maize, groundnut, potato, sorghum, brinjal, mustard,
sugarcane and chickpea for trials and directed seed firms to obtain no objection certificates from
states to carry out the actual tests.
Punjab not to conduct field trials of GM mustard
The Punjab government issued directions to Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) not to conduct
further field trials of genetically modified (GM) mustard crop, following the concerns expressed by
civil society group.
Scientists of Delhi University had conducted field trials of GM mustard crop in Ludhiana and
Bathinda under direct supervision of PAU scientists during November 2014 till March 2015.
Punjab is the only state in the country where open field trials of GM mustard crop were carried out.
GM cotton
Government of India
accorded approval for
cultivation of genetically
modified cotton in the
country in 2002. After this,
production of cotton in
India has increased four
fold, making India to be
one of the top cotton
producers in the world.

FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP)
Telangana set for GM trials
The Telangana government is reported to be planning to give approvals to multinational seed
companies to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops in the state..
The move assumes significance, since Telangana is currently India’s one of the largest producers of
seeds, accounting for nearly a third of domestic seed production. More than 400 seed companies at
present engage nearly two lakh farmers to produce seeds on fields spread over 3 lakh acres.
Caught between Monsanto and States, cottonseed industry seeks Government of
India’s help
With no end in sight to the pricing tussle with Mahyco-Monsanto – the Bt cotton technology
provider – the Indian seed industry has approached the Government of India to intervene and
resolve the knotty issue. Invoking the Patent Act, Competition Act or the Environment Protection
Act, the industry asked the government to help fix the price of cottonseed, including the royalty fee
(or trait value).
“Due to high royalties fixed by Mahyco-Monsanto on its Bt cotton technology, the States intervened
by referring the issue to Monopolies and Restrictive Trade practices and invoked the provisions in
the Seed (Control) order of 1983 to regulate the cottonseed prices. They promulgated legislations
to regulate the Bt cotton seed prices, specifically to bring down high royalty.
Armed with legislations, the State governments have not raised the MRP of cottonseed despite sharp
increase in production costs. The MRP remained stagnant between 2006 and 2010 and again
between 2011 and 2015. In a span of 10 years, the price went up only once.
The second issue the industry raised was the contracts between the seed firms and Mahyco-
Monsanto for accessing Bt technology. The States have never shown interest in recognising the
contracts and licences. They haven’t considered the trait values mentioned in the contracts.
GM POLICY IN EUROPE
It is appropriate to review the cautious steps being taken by European Union with regard to
genetically modified crops.
Genetically modified (GM) crops and food can enter Europe as food, animal feed or biofuels.
GM food and feed must be approved by European Union (EU) regulators and must be labelled, but
meat and dairy products produced from animals fed on GM feed are not required to be labelled.
Telangana is set to become the sixth Indian
state to allow field trails of GM food crops
Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra and
Andhra Pradesh already allow such tests.
According to media reports, Gujarat and
Karnataka are examining the matter.
The prominent states that have refused to
allow field trials of GM crops include Bihar,
Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh
and Rajasthan.State government NOC is
compulsory for such tests
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 19
FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP
Large quantities of GM soya and maize are imported into Europe, including Britain, as animal feed.
EU has also decided to allow GM feed to include trace levels of crops, which have no safety approval
in Europe (i.e. are unauthorised GM crops).
Germany, France, Luxembourg, Austria have Government sponsored voluntary labelling schemes for
non GM fed meat, milk and eggs, so that consumers can choose to buy non GM fed products.
In Sweden, GM feed is no longer used at all, due to consumer pressure.
In 2012, Turkey announced that GM fed meat, milk and dairy products would be labelled.
European Parliament approved a new law that allowed EU member nations to ban GMOs for
reasons 'other than science’, including country planning and socio economic impact. The new law
also extends to devolved administrations, such as Scotland as well as member states.
GM crops can be grown experimentally with approval from national regulators or commercially,
if approved by the EU.
Nine nations (Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg, Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France and Poland)
had previously banned cultivation of MON810 under so called safeguard clauses.
Another GM crop was approved for cultivation in the EU in 2010: a potato known as the Amflora
potato, which has been genetically modified by BASF to produce starch for use in paper making.
It was grown in small quantities in Germany and Sweden in 2011. BASF then withdrew from planting
GM crops in Europe in January 2012 and in late 2013. The European Court annulled the
authorisation, arguing that it had not been granted lawfully.
In 2014, following another court case, the EU considered approving the commercial cultivation of
another insect resistant maize (Bt maize 1507) produced by DuPont.
Syngenta's GA21 maize (which is tolerant to the weed killer glyphosate, brandname RoundUp) is the
only remaining GM crop in the commercial pipeline that would be suitable for growing, if plans to
opt into growing GM crops under new draft EU legislation get go ahead.
Field trials in Europe
Many experimental field trials of GM crops have been conducted in Europe. In Britain, there have
been field trials of GM potatoes (one in Norfolk and one near Leeds) and GM wheat (at the
Rothamsted research centre in Hertfordshire). Trial of GM Camila sativa ("false flax") is planned at
Rothamsted. This crop has a genetically altered oil content (high in omega-3).
Commercial growing of GM crop in Europe
Only two GM crops have been approved for
commercial growing in the EU.
One is a variety of pest resistant maize (Bt maize)
produced by Monsanto (known as MON810). This is
grown mainly in Spain (and in smaller quantities in
some other countries) for use in animal feed.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 20
FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP)
Scenario in Britain
There is no commercial growing of GM crops in Britain, but there have been experimental trials of
GM potatoes and wheat in recent years.
Attempts to introduce herbicide tolerant GM crops into Britain have been controversial, because of
the suspected harmful effects on wildlife and the likely emergence of superweeds. None of these
crops are currently approved for commercial growing.
GM crops enter Britain mainly as animal feed. Most British retailers do not sell other GM foods and
if they stock them, they must be labelled (this is also the case elsewhere in Europe).
Meat and dairy products fed on GM animal feed are not labelled as GM fed, in British supermarkets.
Scenario in Germany
Germany’s national academy of sciences has endorsed genetically modified (GM) crops.
However, the German government is considering a new law to ban geneticallyl modified organism
(GMO), after the European Parliament passed a law, allowing EU states to restrict or ban the
cultivation of EU approved GM crops.
Bundestag – Germany’s lower house of parliament will begin debate on whether or not to enact
a new law that would ban the cultivation of GM crops in Germany.
Restriction in Scotland
The Scottish government has announced that it intends to ban the cultivation of GM crops approved
by EU regulatory authorities within its borders.
The Scottish government said that growing GM crops could damage the nation's $14 billion food and
drink industry. In announcing the ban, Scottish government argued that prohibiting cultivation of
GM crops would protect and enhance Scotland’s ‘clean, green status’ and be beneficial to Scotland’s
economy.
An official request to ban GM crop cultivation will be submitted to EU authorities. The Scottish ban
would include the already approved insect resistant maize MON810 and six other GM crops
awaiting EU authorisation.
Restriction in Latvia and Greece
Latvia and Greece have made use of the new law by submitting requests to the EU to ban GM crop
cultivation.
A permanent ban on GMO cultivation in Germany would be a
death sentence for plant biotech research in Germany.
Bayer Crop Science stopped conducting GM field trials in
Germany in 2004, though the company believes that scientific
arguments will eventually succeed and open the door for
GM crop cultivation across Europe.
Another German firm, BASF, moved all of its transgenic plant
operations to the US in 2012, blaming hostility to GM crops.

FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP)
SCENARIO IN USA
A large percentage of GM maize grown in the US is now used in industrial scale biofuels (agrofuels)
subsidised by the US Government. Biofuels do not have to be labelled as containing GM crops .
FDA okays GM salmon for human consumption
Genetic engineering is widely used for crops, but the USA government until now has not considered
allowing the consumption of modified animals.
The Food and Drug Administration in USA has approved genetically modified salmon, the first such
altered animal allowed for human consumption in the United States.
The US administration had stalled approval for the fast growing salmon for more than five years,
amid consumer concerns about eating genetically modified foods. But the agency now says that the
fish is safe to eat.
In announcing the approval, the FDA said that there are "no biologically relevant differences in the
nutritional profile of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm raised Atlantic salmon."
AquAdvantage Salmon was created by the Massachusetts-based company AquaBounty .
The fish would be bred female and sterile, though a very small percentage might still be able to
breed.
There is no evidence that the foods would be unsafe, but for some people, it is an ethical issue.
Some retailers have pledged not to sell the salmon, and it is still unclear whether the public will have
an appetite for the fish.
NEED FOR CAUTION IN INDIA IN ADOPTING GM CROPS
The standard of technology practices with regard to agricultural operations are much more
advanced in European countries than what India has at present..Certification procedures are more
stringent and cautious in European Union.
Given such circumstances, it would be appropriate for Government of India to take decisions with
regard to according permission to genetically modified crop, based on the views taken by the
European Union.
Considering the European model as it is now being developed , India should wait, until European
countries would take final stand with regard to GM crops.
******
The fish grows twice as fast as normal salmon, so it
reaches market size more quickly . It has an added growth
hormone from the Pacific Chinook salmon that allows the
fish to produce growth hormone all year long.
The engineers are able to keep the hormone active by
using another gene from an eel like fish called an ocean
pout that acts like an "on" switch for the hormone. Typical
Atlantic salmon produce the growth hormone for only
part of the year. The FDA has also said that the fish is
unlikely to harm the environment.

Ineos has acquired Axiall’s aromatics business for $52.4 million, with
an additional $10.5 million dependent on the timing and costs of the
shutdown of Axiall’s Plaquemine, LA, operations.
The acquisition includes a 900,000 metric tonne per year cumene

Total announced in 2013 that it planned to close the 340,000 metric
tonne per year Carling cracker permanently in the second half of 2015
because it was “acutely loss-making.”
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 23
PLANT CLOSURE
With this, all API manufacturing activities have been shut down in India.
The reason cited was low demand for a product called Terbutaline Sulphate (TS), which was being
exported from this plant. Terbutaline is used to treat asthma, bronchitis and emphysema.
However, the company said all tablet manufacturing plants will continue to be operational.
In June 2014, the pharmaceutical company came under the lens of SEBI for allegedly fraudulent and
unfair trade practices, with regard to its delisting policy.
However, at that time, AstraZeneca’s London-based spokesperson, in an emailed response, had said
that the company has complied at every stage of the offer for sale and delisting processes and in all
respects, with the relevant SEBI regulations.
Before the delisting plan, the company closed its Avishkar research and development location, citing
a broader global business strategy to simplify its research and development footprint and focus
resources on three core therapy areas — oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as well as
respiratory, inflammation and autoimmunity.
Part of the problem faced by AstraZeneca and other pharmaceutical companies has to do with
increased competition from generic drugs, as some of the world’s most successful drugs come off
patent.
Symbicort, an inhaler, has lost patent protection. Similarly, heartburn treatment drug Nexium has
also lost its patent protection.
Saint Gobain shuts down Maharashtra plant
Glass firm Saint Gobain Sekurit India decided to close the Bhosari
plant of the company in Maharashtra with effect from

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE
Leak at DuPont’s La Porte site in USA
A report released by the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) blames flawed safety procedures, design
problems and inadequate planning for a methyl mercaptan leak that killed four workers at DuPont’s
La Porte, TX, facility on 15 November 2014.
CSB says a series of mistakes led to the fatal accident, beginning with the delivery of a raw material
used to produce Lannate, an insecticide. When a water dilution system was inadvertently activated,
the raw material’s storage tank overflowed, requiring the production unit be shut down.
But this plan had not gone under safety review as required by the company’s own standards,” CSB
says. Moreover, the CSB learned that there were no written procedures to guide operations or to
track the success of the plan or progress toward clearing the entire methyl mercaptan feed line.
High pressure in the venting system had occurred regularly since DuPont installed a $20 million
incinerator in 2011 and personnel drained liquid from the vent pipes daily to address the problem.
When alarms indicated high pressure on the night of the accident, operators mistakenly assumed
that the cause was again the incinerator. Two workers who drained the pipes died when the room
filled with methyl mercaptan gas. Two workers responding to their distress call also died.
“The building where the workers died was not equipped with an adequate toxic gas detection
system to alert workers to the presence of dangerous chemicals,” CSB says.

Mishandling of the boiler which is used to make aluminium powder, led to the explosion at 9 a.m.
The aluminium powder is an important raw material of fire works industry.
Two days later, operators attempted to restart the unit but
found a salt-slurry blocking a reaction system. While the
blockage was being removed, 2,000 lbs of water was
mistakenly sent to a tank of methyl mercaptan, creating a
solid hydrate that blocked a feed line. The blocked pipes
were warmed to break up the hydrate and vents were
opened to prevent pressure building up as methyl mercaptan
was liberated.

UPDATE ON CHLOR-ALKALI INDUSTRY IN EUROPE SWITCH OVER FROM MERCURY TO MEMBRANE CELL TECHNOLOGY
EU Directive
According to the chlor-alkali Best Available Techniques reference document, adopted under the
European Union’s Industrial Emissions Directive, mercury is not the best available technology (BAT)
and local operating permits will have to be updated by December 2017 at the latest. This means that
mercury-cell chlor-alkali plants will need to switch to BAT or face closure by that date.
Many plants are converting to membrane-cell technology, including one owned by AkzoNobel at
Ibbenbüren, Germany
Mercury-cell plants accounted for 22.6% of Europe’s 12.17-million metric tonne per year chlorine
capacity in 2014. Many of them are small scale and their owners are often short of money and
therefore some are likely to close.
Inovyn
Inovyn, an equally owned chlorvinyls joint venture between Ineos and Solvay, plans to close its
mercury-cell chlorine plant, the J Unit, at Runcorn, UK, at the earliest opportunity.
Inovyn, as part of the plan, will test the reliability of the site’s membrane chlorine plant, which Inovyn
and Vynova co-own, to make sure that the plant can meet Inovyn’s and Vynova’s needs following the
the J Unit’s closure. Vynova is owned by International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG; Frankfurt)
and includes the assets that Ineos and Solvay had to divest to receive EU approval for creating
Inovyn.
KOH facility of Inovyn
Inovyn, meanwhile, is building a large-scale potassium hydroxide (KOH) production facility
at its Lillo, Belgium, site, near Antwerp, also as part of the technology switch. Inovyn will implement
and commission a 160,000 metric tonne per year KOH plant by 2017 using the latest technology. It
will use much of the existing infrastructure. Major equipment has already been procured.
Inovyn’s site at Lillo was selected for the investment since it is well situated to serve European
customers, with the nearby Port of Antwerp facilitating KOH shipments. The site is also very
competitive because it already has major customers for the chlorine that is coproduced with KOH,
and they are linked directly to the site by pipeline. Inovyn inherited the chlor-alkali facilities at
Antwerp from Solvay’s former SolVin subsidiary, and they include a mercury-cell chlorine plant with
capacity for 110,000 metric tonne per year and a membrane-process plant designed for
350,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine.
BorsodChem
BorsodChem is about to sign a technology
agreement with Chlorine Engineers, part
of ThyssenKrupp, to convert a 131,000
metric tonne per year mercury-cell plant
at Kazincbarcika, Hungary, to membrane
technology.The project will be completed
by the mandatory technology switch date
of December 2017.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 26
UPDATE ON CHLOR-ALKALI INDUSTRY IN EUROPE
Vynova
Vynova is also converting a mercury-cell chlor-alkali facility at Tessenderlo, Belgium. The unit will be
designed to produce 100,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine and 150,000 metric tonne per year
of KOH following the conversion.
The mercury-cell plant at Tessederlo has capacity for 205,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine.
Internationl Chemical Investors Group (ICIG) also owns a KOH production facility at Thann, France.
This unit is being converted from mercury- to membrane-cell technology and is scheduled onstream
in October. It has capacity for 72,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine.
Dow
Stade, Germany has the Dow’s largest chlor-alkali complex in Europe. Dow’s chlor-alkali business in
Europe, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia—where it is developing a major jv project with Saudi Aramco—
do not form part of Dow’s chlor-alkali deal with Olin, which focuses on North America.
Dow’s Stade facility has capacity for 1.59 million metric tonne per year of chlorine, of which
1.03 million metric tonne are based on diaphragm and 555,000 metric tonne. on membrane
technology. Dow’s 250,000- metric tonne per year plant at Schkopau is also based on the membrane
process.

UPDATE ON COAL BED METHANE PROJECT IN INDIA
Auction of CBM block - Present status
Government of India has auctioned nearly 30 CBM blocks under four rounds and gave another three
blocks prior to auctions.
However, currently only one block held by GEECL that operates the Raniganj (South) block is under
commercial production. Another block held by Essar Oil in West Bengal has started producing small
volumes of gas but is not declared commercial yet.
According to DGH, output from CBM blocks was expected to go up to 7.4 mmscmd by 2013-14,
but it was not achieved. The total sedimentary area for CBM exploration in India is of the order of
26,000 sqkm. Of this, exploration has been initiated in only 52% of the area.
In other words, a large area remains to be explored, says DGH website.
GEECL, the first company in India to commercially produce CBM, sells around 0.30 to 0.35 mmscmd
to customers in West Bengal. The block has 2.44 tcf of estimated gas in place.
Government of India’s directive to Coal India
In order to speed up gas production from coal bed methane (CBM) blocks, the petroleum ministry
has allowed Coal India Ltd. (CIL) to mine the hydrocarbon and set specific timelines for the same.
However, the permission comes with a rider — that Coal India cannot involve a private third party
for CBM exploitation. It can only give out equity participation to a central or state PSU with
experience in CBM exploration, while the majority stake would remain with Coal India.
As a leaseholder, Coal India , its subsidiaries will comply with the ORD Act 1948 and P&NG rules
1959 for CBM operations in all such blocks.
Coal India would utilise its mine in a way that it extracts CBM prior to coal mining operations or it
may take up simultaneous exploration of both the natural resources.
One of the major roadblocks for CBM exploration is overlapping of CBM block area with coal
mining area, as 81% of the area under CBM blocks is with Coal India. The petroleum ministry order
asking Coal India to take out CBM in a timebound manner would help prevent the issue.
The petroleum ministry said that within 24 months of grant of CBM mining lease, Coal India needs
to submit field development plan (FDP) to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH).
The time for submission of FDP may be extended by 12 months by the ministry on a case-to-case
basis.
For delay in submission of appraisal plan and FDP beyond
36 months, Coal India would have to pay a penalty of
Rs one lakh per month. In addition, if Coal India delays
production from the projected date in the FDP, it would
be liable to a penalty of Rs 1 lakh per month of delay.
In December 2013, then UPA’s Cabinet allowed CIL and
other state-run firms to also exploit CBM, while taking out
coal. But there was no movement on ground. CIL has not
made any progress, despite the UPA government allowing
the CIL to go-ahead with CBM mining.

UPDATE ON GLOBAL TITANIUM DIOXIDE INDUSTRY
Huntsman
Huntsman announced plans in late 2014 to cut 900 jobs in its TiO2 pigments and additives segment as
part of a restructuring aimed at generating $175 million in annualized savings by mid-2016. The workforce reductions include 360 positions at the Duisburg, Germany, facility; 160 positions at the Uerdingen,
Germany, facility; and 160 positions at the Calais, France, facility, which is being shut down, eliminating 100,000 metric tonne per year of TiO2 capacity.
Chemours
Chemours, in August 2015, announced plans to close its Edgemoor, DE, USA TiO2 plant shut a TiO2 line at its New Johnsonville, TN, USA site. The moves will eliminate 150,000 metric tonne per year of
capacity and save about $45 million annually, the company says. At the same time, however, Chemours is building a $600-million, 200,000- metric tonne per year plant at Altamira, Mexico, that is slated to begin
production in mid-2016.
Tronox
Tronox has suspended production at one of the six lines at its Hamilton, MS, facility, and at one of the four lines at its Kwinana, Australia, facility—approximately 15% of the company’s total pigment capacity.
Tronox has also suspended the operation of a slag smelter in South Africa, reducing its capacity by about 12%.

Recent financial and restructuring announcements by titanium dioxide (TiO2) producers Huntsman and Chemours show that conditions in the titanium dioxide market have not improved. Pricing
continues to decline, they say, and operating rates remain low. On the bright side, analysts say that inventories are falling back to normal, and with demand growth expected to outpace new capacity in
the years ahead, recovery may not be far off.
TiO2 producers have experienced steady profitability improvements through the course of the last two years, [and] all of the major companies experienced TiO2 volume gains through the course of
2013 and 2014 .

Black iron oxide has the highest tint strength, generally achieving saturation at 6 percent dosage.
Brown has a slightly lower tint strength, leveling -off at approximately 7 percent dosage, followed by
8 percent for red and 9 percent for yellow
The difference in colour/shade between one pigment and another is due to the surface structure of
the particle.
Pigments of the same family, such as reds for example, could have different undertone. Upon dilution
with a white extender, reds may appear purple or pink. The reason for this is that a red pigment
particle, depending on its structure, may reflect the red component of light plus a certain amount of
blue (purple undertone) or some yellow (pink undertone).
The appearance of the undertone effect depends on the reflected amount of these secondary
components relative to the mass tone.
The undertone characteristics of a colour also determine if the mass tone, such as red, would have a
yellow (terra cotta) or blue (deep red) appearance.
Yellow oxides have, in general, green or red undertones. Black oxides may have red or blue
undertone.
Forms
Liquid form
Liquid form is made by mixing powdered or semi-dried iron oxide with 30 to 40 percent water,
surfactants and stabilizers to form a “suspension.”
Granule form
Granules are made by mixing a binder and dispersant with the liquid and spray drying the mixture.
Powder form
Both liquid and granule forms offer improved housekeeping versus powdered iron oxide, but
powder holds the edge in economy of use.

IRON OXIDE – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
Comparison of natural iron oxide and synthetic iron oxide pigment
The use of natural iron oxide pigment dates back centuries to prehistoric times and can be seen in
cave paintings around the world.
However, natural iron oxide pigments are nearly overshadowed by the synthetic variety, due to its
consistency and superior tailor made properties.
Synthetically prepared iron oxide pigment has been found to possess better texture, brilliance and
staining power compared to natural pigment.
When the colour of the paint is important, synthetic iron oxides are predominantly used because
they have greater tinting strength than natural oxides.
But in primers or undercoats, which are not so colour dependent as the finishing paints, natural iron
oxide pigments may be used. Ceramics may also use natural oxides to provide colour for frits and
glazes.
Application
Pigment grade iron oxide is suited for use in paints, rubber, paper, polishing rouge, ceramic,
linoleum, wall paper, plastic asphalt, cement colours, mosaic tiles and flooring.
Application sector Shade/colour Nature of application
Flooring colours Red, yellow and black Used colours for cement/mosaic flooring are red, yellow and
black.
Paints Red, yellow and
orange
Iron oxide red/yellow/orange are used as pigment in all kinds of
decorative and industrial paints.
Architectural
products Different shades
Different shades of iron oxides are added to plasters, concrete
blocks, surface textures etc., to bring out the best of building
exteriors and open up possibilities for designers.
Such coloured finishes can also be used to restore heritage
building by matching colours of the blocks/plasters with that of
the existing structures.
Tiles Red, yellow
Used to colour paver blocks, designer tiles, roofing tiles etc. due
to their long-lasting colour intensity, resistance to UV rays and
weathering resistance.
Ceramic colours Red
High purity red iron oxide is used in the manufacture of ceramic
colours that go into colouration of ceramic tiles in vivid designs.
Plastic
masterbatches Red, yellow
Synthetic iron oxide is heat stable and hence ideal for use in the
preparation of colour master batches for the plastic industry.
They also disperse fast and do not migrate.
Leather
colourants Red and yellow
Synthetic red & yellow iron oxides are used for preparation of
leather colourants. Pigments are totally free from heavy metals
and hence preferred by the industry.
Graphite
electrode Red
Synthetic iron oxide of high purity and consistent sizing used in
the manufacture of carbon/graphite electrodes and refractory
mortar and brick.
A mixture of coke, or charcoal, and a small per cent iron oxide,
can be converted to graphite by heating.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 31
IRON OXIDE – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
Emerging applications
Compact pigment
Whereas inorganic binders do not disperse to 100% during the usual mixing times allowed, those
prepared with organic wetting and deflocculating agents achieve excellent dispersion and hence
provide high tinting strength in concrete products.
Bayer developed compacted pigments which also incorporate organic dispersing agents.
In making them, a pigment paste is pre-shaped (by the use of perforated rollers or matrices) and the
prepared particles are rounded subsequently in granulation drums or on granulation plates.

Corrosion
As carbon steel is subject to corrosion, use of stainless steel (ASTM A316) is strictly recommended
for all process equipment, storage tanks and pipings in contact with phthalic anhydride.
Safety and handling
Phthalic anhydride has low minimum ignition energy and it is essential that adequate earthing be
maintained at all stages of handling and processing.
Storage
Phthalic anhydride should be stored in cool, properly covered, dry area away from any sources of
ignition, open flame and strong oxidizing agents.
It should not be exposed to rain/humidity as this leads to formation of phthalic acid, which is
insoluble in benzene, causing lowering of melting point.
Transportation
In the western countries, phthalic anhydride is mainly transported in liquid form, with suitable
precautions, on account of its inflammable nature and due to environmental considerations.
However, in India, phthalic anhydride is shipped in the flake form.

Applications
Phthalic anhydride is a basic raw material used as an intermediate for the production of plasticizers,
unstaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, copper phthalocyanine and others.
Products Applications
Process outline
Phthalic anhydride is a downstream product of orthoxylene (OX), a basic petrochemical.
Phthalic anhydride is produced by the catalytic oxidation of orthoxylene with air or by the catalytic
oxidation of naphthalene. Orthoxylene is the preferred feedstock, but some producers have the
capability to switch to naphthalene as feedstock.
Contemporary processes are based on orthoxylene and all plants in India employ this route, as
naphthalene is expensive and not easily available.

Anti dumping measures
Phthalic anhydride (PAN) Manufacturers Association (PA-MA) requested the Government of India to
halt the progressive reduction of import duty on PAN under the `India-Korea CEPA‘ and enhance
the import duty to 7.5%, which is the applied MFN import duty rate.
According to the Association, domestic industry has been operating at low capacity. This situation
has arisen as a result of significant export of phthalic anhydride from South Korea, facilitated by duty
reduction offered, pursuant to India‘s schedule of commitments under the India-Korea
Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
According to the Association, the financial hardship suffered by the Indian producers is likely to
worsen further, as under the phased reduction commitment, India is required to reduce its import
duty on imports from Korea culminating in duty free access to the Indian market.
In 2013, Finance Ministry of Government of India imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on phthalic
anhydride (PAN) import from South Korea, Taiwan and Israel.
The duty would last for five years, unless revoked earlier.
The revenue department move followed Designated Authority‘s recommendation in its final findings
in September 2012 to impose definitive anti-dumping duty on phthalic anhydride import from the
three countries.

Nature of application
Infant foods
Maltodextrin is the simplest form of sugar. It has a soft mouthfeel and is easily digested.
This property enables its use in baby foods, feed supplements, geriatric foods and foods for
convalescents. It is also used as a carrying and dispersing agent for flavours and is ideally
suited for encapsulation.
Beverages
Maltodextrin is popular as a flavouring, bodying and drying agent in chocolate drinks,
flavour powders, special diets, citrus powders and coffee powders, besides others. It is also
used to replace a portion of protein whipping agent in aerated beverages.
For instant foods, maltodextrin is the perfect carrying agent due to its free flexibility, open
structure, dispersibility in cold water and ability to maintain clarity and eye appeal. It is,
therefore, extensively used as a bodying and bulking agent in puddings, soups and frozen
desserts.
Bakery products
Due to the presence of higher molecular weight saccharides, maltodextrin lends mouthfeel
and body to fruit products, granola bars, cream type fillings, icings and cakes. It is also used
as a moisture holding agent in breads, pastries and meats.
Maltodextrin is used in soup powders, concentrates and spices, spice flavour blends, cheese
sauces, cream sauces, pizza sauces and salad dressings as a bodying agent, flavour enhancer,
oxygen barrier, colour controller, stabilising and viscosity builder and as a spray drying
agent.

MALTODEXTRIN – PRODUCT PROFILE
Indian demand and supply
Maltodextrin is the least hygroscopic of all corn sweeteners due to its low dextrose equivalent (DE)
i.e. low sugar content and exhibits high viscosity and contribute to the mouth feel and body due to
presence of higher molecular weight saccharides.
As a multi functional food additive, maltodextrin is used in food industry such as sweets, drink, beer,
ice cream, preserved fruit, milk powder, malted milk, cake, biscuit and bread, as well as in medicine.
Maltodextrin is the perfect instant food additive due to its free flexibility open structure,
dispersibility in cold water, its ability to help maintain clarity and eye-appeal. Maltodextrin increases
the viscosity and prevents caking and crystallisation in the frozen foods such as ice cream.
Maltodextrin is a more expensive product but the quantity needed is much less than of ordinary
glucose. It can be used in products which require increased nutritive bulk without substantially
affecting the flavour of sweetness balance
Maltodextrin is used particularly for production of spray dried infant food product.

MALTODEXTRIN – PRODUCT PROFILE
Europe and North America together constitute more than 61% of the market share, which is
expected to remain more or less stable by 2020. Major growth is expected to come from Asia
Pacific and some East European countries. Asia Pacific, particularly China is one of the major
producers of maltodextrin.
Important global producers include the following
* Cargill Inc.,
* Ingredion Incorporated,
* The Archer Daniels Midland Company,
* Tate & Lyle Plc,
* Roquette Freres SA,
* Penford Corporation,
* Grain Processing Corporation,
* Tereos Syral and Zhucheng Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
There are around 29 maltodextrin producers in China.
Increase in demand for non-GMO maltodextrin
Demand for non-GMO sources is on the increase. The demand is particularly strong from the food
and beverages and pharmaceutical sector.
Maltodextrin produced from GMOs still accounts for bulk of the share in the market. The market
value of GMO maltodextrin is anticipated to be worth US$ 2.01 bn by 2020, whereas GMO free
maltodextrin is projected to be worth US$ 1.37bn.
Technology
Maltodextrin is a mixture of glucose, maltose, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
Maltodextrins is 15 to 20% dextrose equivalent and is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch,
followed by refining and spray-drying to moisture level of 3% to 5%.
Prognosis
Maltodextrin has gained acceptance in the food manufacturing industry owing to its easy miscibility,
temperature tolerance, and bland taste. It can be formulated in any food, ranging from soup & sauces
to sports drinks.
The present Indian demand for maltodextrin is much below the potential level.
With the increasing economic growth and percapita consumption and higher consumer expectation,
the demand for confectionery products and infant food sector would steadily increase in the coming
years.
Such growth would translate into steady increase in demand for maltodextrin in the country.

Li-ion battery separators
Li-ion battery separators are used in consumer electronics, such as smartphones and tablets, and in
electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and other automotive applications where significant
demand growth is forecast.
A Li-ion battery separator is a thin, microporous film of polyolefin placed between the cathode and
anode of Li-ion batteries; it prevents contact between the electrodes but allows lithium ions to pass
between the electrodes.
Asahi Kasei will build a production line for the company’s Hipore-brand lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery
separator at its production complex at Hyuga, Japan.
Asahi will invest about ¥5 billion ($41.7 million) to build the Hipore production line, which will be
the fifth at the site. The line will have a manufacturing capacity of 60 million square meters per year
and Asahi expects it to become operational in spring 2016.
The company currently produces Hipore separators at Moriyama, Japan, as well as Hyuga and it has
a total Hipore production capacity of 255 million sq meters per year.
Asahi Kasei, on 26 August, 2015 completed the acquisition of Polypore International (Charlotte,
NC). Polypore produces Li-ion battery separators under the Celgard brand. Celgard’s manufacturing
plants are located in North Carolina and at Cheongju, South Korea. Combining Polypore’s Celgard
products with the Hipore lineup has significantly expanded Asahi’s Li-ion battery separator product
portfolio.
Asahi Kasei’s project announcement follows decisions by other Japanese companies to increase their
respective Li-ion battery separators’ production capacity.
Ube Industries announced in September,2015 that it would expand its production capacity by
rebuilding existing facilities at its Ube, Japan, complex and establishing production facilities at its
Sakai, Japan, site.
Sumitomo Chemical said in June,2015 that it will more than double its capacity for Li-ion secondary
battery separators. Production capacity at Sumitomo’s site at Niihama, Japan, will increase by next
year and a Li-ion battery separators plant will be built in South Korea

UPDATE ON TRANS – PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP)
Twelve nations, including the United States and Japan, have reached an accord on the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement.
Representatives from the 12 countries announced a deal on 5 October,2015 in Atlanta
after days of intense negotiations.
The deal still requires approval from the US Congress.
.But the deal is expected to be a boon for the chemical industry. Most tariffs on most
industrial goods will be eliminated immediately on the deal’s final approval, although some
tariff eliminations may be phased in over time. The chemical industry accounted for 14% of
all US exports in 2014. The TPP enhances market access for shale-advantaged
US chemicals.
A major sticking point was the duration of
patent protection for pharmaceuticals,
which US pharma companies wanted to
mandate at 12 years—the protection
period in the United States, which is longer
than that of many other countries. The final
deal mandates a floor of 5 years of
protection, but it does not require 12,
although the 12-year period will remain in
place in the United States.

HYBRID CARBON SOOT CUTS COST OF LITHIUM ION BATTERY
The scientists developed a method to synthesise carbon nanoparticles from candle soot to be used
as an anode material for the functioning of lithium ion batteries (rechargeable batteries). Anode is
one of the three critical components in the functioning of a battery.
Carbon or graphite is commercially used as an anode material in lithium ion batteries, which are
widely used in electronics like laptops, smartphones and pacemakers due to their high energy
density. However, carbon has a disadvantage in terms of capacity.
Hence, it is preferred only for low current application. To power electric vehicles and aircraft, which
require high current, nickel hydride or nickel cadmium or metal oxide batteries are being used. "The
synthesizing and mass production of metal oxide based material is, however, difficult. These batteries
are environmentally hazardous compared to lithium ion battery though the latter cost 40% more to
manufacture than the former.
Carbon soot deposited on a stainless steel foil from the tip of the flame is directly used as a working
electrode with lithium foil used as a counter electrode.
Researchers compared carbon nanoparticles from the tip and the middle of the flame of the candle.
They observed that the material on the tip, which is produced when wax is burnt at 1400 deg, C is
very conducting. The middle burned at a temp of about 700 deg. C had impurity of unburnt wax,
which is not good for battery performance.

Glass as strong as steel developed
Researchers in Japan have created a type of glass that is stronger than many metals and almost as
strong as steel
The researchers from The University of Tokyo and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute
used what they call aerodynamic levitation, to create glass imbued with extra amounts of an oxide of
aluminium.
Glass that does not break when dropped or when struck by another object would be useful in a
wide variety of applications, from automobile windows, to skyscrapers to smart phones and tablets.
One of the ways to make traditional glass stronger is to add larger amount of an oxide of aluminium
to the mix, specifically, alumina, because it has one of the highest dissociation energies among oxides.
Carbon nanoparticles synthesised from candle soot,
measuring about 30 nanometre (1 nanometre is one by
100 crores of a metre) - are interconnected with each
other; this gives them a unique size and morphology for
better performance. The research showed better
performance compared to commercially used material like
metal oxide, which are currently used in these batteries.
Researchers Manohar Kakunuri and Chandra S Sharma in the Indian Institute of Technology,
Hyderabad have found that something as mundane as candle soot can power lithium-ion
batteries used in electric cars and aircraft.

The end result is a glass with more alumina in it than any other produced to date - a glass that the
team said is transparent, colourless and extremely hard.

DRDO to develop technology to help submarines remain under water for long
The Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) is in the process of developing ‘air
independent propulsion (AIP)’ technology that would ensure future Indian-built submarines stay
underwater for longer periods than a conventional submarine.
Submarines tend to be battery operated, since generators cannot be used under water. In order to
recharge the battery, submarines have to surface, for taking in air and throwing out the exhaust,
making the stealth vehicle vulnerable to detection.
However, with the AIP “that is based on a fuel cell which converts methanol like substances to
produce hydrogen, which in turn produces electricity,” submarines can remain longer under water,
said the official, adding that the technology would help boost its combat operation capability.
Meanwhile, the sea trials of the first of six Scorpene submarines has got underway, and are likely to
continue until the commissioning of the submarine next year.
The first of the six Scorpene submarines, the INS Kalvari is part of a $3.6-billion contract signed in
October 2005 with French firm DCNS, which is currently assembling the Scorpenes at the Mumbai
port.

Worm that ‘eats up’ plastic
Chinese scientists have discovered a method to decompose stubborn plastic waste with the help of a
worm that can fully digest and degrade it into carbon dioxide and nutrition.
The finding was jointly published in the peer reviewed scientific journal Environmental Science &
Technology, by professor Yang Jun, from Beihang University, and Dr Zhao Jiao, from the Shenzhen
based genomics organisation BGI.
However, when more alumina is added to the mix while the
glass is being made, silicon dioxide crystals develop, where
the mix meets the surface that is holding it, making the end
product worthless as a glass.
The new process involves causing the mix to be held in the
air, while it is forming, by pushing it from below with oxygen
gas and then using a laser as a spatula to mix the materials
together.
“Every 24 hours or so a conventional
submarine has to surface in order to
replenish its oxygen supply,” explained an
official at the DRDO, a defence research
agency, adding that new technology under
consideration at DRDO’s unit, Naval Material
Research Laboratory, at Ambernath, near
Mumbai, would help the submarine stay
underwater for a longer duration.

Porous liquid to filter carbon emissions developed
Scientists have developed the world's first 'porous' liquid that can potentially be used to capture
harmful carbon emissions to prevent them from entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Researchers at Queen's University Belfast in UK, along with colleagues at the University of Liverpool
and other international partners, invented the new liquid and found that it can dissolve unusually
large amount of gas, which are absorbed into the 'holes' in the liquid.
The research could pave the way for many more efficient and greener chemical processes, including
the procedure known as carbon capture trapping carbon dioxide from major sources; for example a
fossil fuel power plant and storing it to prevent its entry into the atmosphere.
"A few more years' research will be needed, but if we can find applications for these porous liquids
they could result in new or improved chemical processes," researchers said. "At the very least, the
researchers have managed to demonstrate a very new principle that by creating holes in liquids can
dramatically increase the amount of gas they can dissolve”.

Low cost solar powered light source
In 2013, two London based designers launched a crowd funding campaign to help cover the cost of
making product samples, so that they could distribute lamps for trials in India and Africa.
The newer version allows the lights to stay on all of the time—previously, they would go off while
somebody lifted up the bag again. The company also developed SatLights, a series of attachable lamps
that can be plugged into the Gravity Light source to create other points of light in a room.
At a retail price of $20, the GL02 might be an expensive acquisition for the poor people, but the
designers say it pays for itself within weeks, due to savings on kerosene. They expect that the price
will come down in time.

Storing solar power in salt water
Until recently, it has not been possible to store solar energy in an environmentally benign way.
Pittsburgh based company called Aquion Energy (AHI), has found a clean, high performance storage
battery to pair up with solar panels.
It was developed by Dr. Jay Whitacre, a Carnegie Mellon University professor of material sciences
and Aquion Energy’s founder, who started working on the technology in 2007.
Their research proved that the larvae of Tenebrio
molitor, also known as yellow mealworms, can be
fed with polystyrene, one of the most stubborn in
the plastic family, state run China News Service
reported.
The plastic can be fully digested by the work and
degraded into CO2 or nutrition for the worm.

Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 52
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
AHI uses a saltwater electrolyte instead of the typical cocktail of caustic chemicals. All of its parts—
saltwater, carbon, manganese, cotton, steel, aluminum and plastic—are non toxic, recyclable and
landfill safe. Its aqueous ion chemistry means that it can never blow up or catch fire, a problem that
can afflict lead and lithium ion batteries when they get old.
At the same time, the AHI meets the strict performance requirements for off grid and on grid
applications. Unlike its lead acid and lithium ion cousins, it can fully discharge without being damaged.
And it tolerates greater temperature extremes.
The smallest unit Aquion sells is an “S-Line” stack, eight AHI batteries placed on top of each other
like Lego blocks. A stack stands nearly a meter tall, weighs around 115 kilo gram and is stationary.
Because it can be completely discharged and recharged 3,000 times without degrading, it will provide
for more than eight years of daily use.
A single S-Line stack contains close to 2.5 kWh of energy. But the stacks are designed to be wired
together in parallel, and a series of stacks paired with solar panels is enough to run a home.
Cost cutting will be crucial if Aquion is to challenge lithium ion technology in the marketplace.

Scientists refrigerate liquid using infrared laser
In a breakthrough, scientists have for the first time used a laser to refrigerate water and other liquids
under real world conditions.
Researchers used an infrared laser to cool water by about two degrees Celsius, becoming the first
to solve a decades old puzzle. The discovery could help industrial users "point cool" tiny areas with a
focused point of light.
To achieve the breakthrough, the team used a material commonly found in commercial lasers but
essentially ran the laser phenomenon in reverse. They illuminated a single microscopic crystal
suspended in water with infrared laser light to excite a unique kind of glow that has slightly more
energy than that amount of light absorbed.
This higher energy glow carries heat away from both the crystal and the water surrounding it.

Regenerating bones through nanoparticles
A recent study by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru suggests that
‘3D scaffolds’ of graphene composites can be used for bone tissue regeneration, as they mimic the
environment of the bone.
The researchers from the department of Materials Engineering went about ‘strengthening’
Polycaprolactone (PCL) — a biodegradable polymer — by adding graphene, a two dimensional
hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms.
Microprocessors, for instance, might someday use a laser beam
to cool specific components in computer chips to prevent
overheating and enable more efficient information processing.
Researchers chose infrared light for its cooling laser with
biological applications in mind, as visible light could give cells a
damaging "sunburn". They demonstrated that the laser could
refrigerate saline solution and cell culture media that are
commonly used in genetic and molecular research.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 53
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
The researchers viewed the response of osteoblast cells (bone precursors) to grapheme-based
polymer that was made as a 2-D structure (a plane surface) and a 3D structure with protruding
nanoparticles.
In 2-D scaffolds, the osteoblast cells spread at least 15 percent more on the composite, and were
spread across the sheet in a random pattern, than if one were to use a regular PCL. However, in 3D
scaffolds, the cells have a compact arrangement similar to what is seen inside bone tissue. Also, bone
mineralization (process needed for strengthening the bone) was found to be higher in 3-D scaffolds
as compared with 2-D substrates.
And in these observations, lie the opportunity for research into nanocomposites for medical
sciences.
While the study demonstrates the suitability of using the composite for bone regeneration, the
researchers believe either of the two structures could be used depending on the type of bone tissue
damage.

show up to 15 decibels (dB) higher sensitivity compared to a commercial microphone, at frequencies
up to 11 kilohertz (kHz).
The graphene membrane, approximately 60 layers thick, was grown on a nickel foil using chemical
vapour deposition, to ensure consistent quality across all the samples.

Pre-sulfided Sour Gas ShiftMax Catalysts developed by Clariant
Clariant, announced the successful start up and operation of its pre-sulfided ShiftMax® 820S Sour
Gas Shift (SGS) catalyst at a methanol production facility of Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Co. Ltd.
The achievement is of particular significance, as it is the first industrial application of the newly
introduced ShiftMax 820S catalyst in China.
Clariant's new generation ShiftMax 820S SGS catalyst employs a proprietary pre-sulfiding process,
which offers many advantages for coal to chemical producers. The new catalyst greatly improves
working conditions by avoiding the use of flammable and toxic agents, such as carbon disulfide or
dimethyl sulfide, during the commissioning phase. Moreover, it reduces the risk of high temperature
excursions and sulfur emissions during plant start up and production.
Though PCL is biodegradable, it is considered too soft
to be used as a bone template. However, graphene has
a strength that is more than 200 times that of steel.
The addition of graphene dioxide was found to have
increased the strength of PCL by 22 percent and its
capacity to resist deformation by 44 percent — enough
to sustain bone growth, while also being biodegradable.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 54
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
ShiftMax 820S also optimizes processes, as it is typically ready for start up three times faster than
conventional catalysts.
Besides saving time, the higher activity of ShiftMax 820S reduces syngas and energy requirements,
thus allowing more economical, efficient and simplified operations. ShiftMax 820S is part of an
industrially proven catalyst series, which are suitable for all types of coal to chemical applications and
gasification technologies. The catalyst can be used as a simple drop in solution without changing any
plant equipment.
Clariant's partnership with Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Co. Ltd began in 2011 with the delivery
of ShiftMax 820 catalysts for an SGS unit. This was followed by catalyst supplies for a second unit in
2012. The catalysts have performed well at both units, with a lifetime exceeding 4 years. In 2015,
two further units were equipped with Clariant catalysts, this time using the new pre sulfided
ShiftMax 820S. Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Co. Ltd is the first producer to use the ShiftMax
820S pre sulfided Sour Gas Shift catalyst in China, and has confirmed optimal start up and robust
operation at both units.

NEW PLANT TO STRIP CO2 FROM ATMOSPHERE OPENS IN CANADA
A new pilot plant officially opened in Squamish in British Columbia, Canada, which can
extract CO2 from the surrounding air and turn it into solid pellets that can be stored or
used to produce fuel. The company, Carbon Engineering, was set up by David Keith, a
Harvard University climate researcher
The plant uses huge fans to draw in air over corrugated sheets, through which potassium
hydroxide (KOH) capture solution flows. The CO2 reacts with the KOH to make solution
of potassium carbonate (K2CO3), which is then fed into a piece of equipment called a pellet
reactor. This contains calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2 and the resulting reaction creates solid
calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and regenerates the KOH. These pellets can be stored or sent
for further reactions to release the CO2 for use as a feedstock.
Carbon Engineering expects that information and data gathered from the pilot plant will be
useful. The plant is expected to cost around C$200m (US$155m). The new plant will
include equipment to convert the captured CO2 into fuel and Carbon Engineering expects
to begin producing fuel in 2018. The process involves using electricity to spill water into
hydrogen and oxygen, then reacting the hydrogen with captured CO2.
The plant can deal with emissions that conventional flue gas scrubbing plants cannot, as it
captures the CO2 directly from air. Many industrial processes are not suitable for the
installation of flue gas scrubbers.The fuels made from the captured CO2 would be carbon
neutral and can be tailored for different purposes such as car or aviation fuel.
The pilot plant has already captured
10 metric tonne of CO2. The new fully
commissioned plant will capture 1 to 2
metric tonne per day. The technology can
be quickly and economically scaled up for
industrial application.

Ethanol supply scenario
The Indian sugar industry has contracted to supply 104 crore litres of ethanol between December
2015 and November 2016, compared with 78 crore litres a year before, which will result in a saving
of almost Rs 5,000 crore of foreign exchange for the country, according to Indian Sugar Mills'
Association (ISMA). The savings will be in the form of less oil imports to that extent.
In August, a study by McKinsey had said the country could potentially save as much as $1.7 billion a
year if the proposed 10% blending programme is strictly implemented.
Recently, OMCs have invited expression of interests seeking supplies of 266 crore litres for
implementing the proposed 10% ethanol blending with petrol in 2015-16. The country could achieve
only 1.4% ethanol blending with petrol in the last fiscal, even lower than the 2013-14 level of 2%.
State governments, which are not permitting production of fuel ethanol or delaying excise
permissions or creating impediments on inter state movements by imposing taxes and duties on
ethanol should be convinced to remove these impediments. Improved cash flow for the mills from
the sale of ethanol will not just replace some of the imported petroleum and reduce foreign
exchange outgo but will directly benefit cane farmers.

Government mandate for use of plastic waste in road construction
The Government of India has made it
mandatory for road developers to use
waste plastic along with bituminous mixes
for road construction to overcome the
growing problem of disposal of plastic
waste in India's urban centres.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 59
NEWS ROUND UP – INDIA
Road developers will now have to use waste plastic along with hot mixes for constructing bitumen
roads within 50 km of periphery of any city that has a population of over five lakh. In recently
released guidelines for developers, the government said that in case of non availability of waste
plastic, the developer has to seek the road transport & highways ministry's approval for constructing
only bitumen roads.
India generates 56 lakh metric tonne of plastic waste annually. As per a study by the Central
Pollution Control Board, 60 large cities in India generate over 15,000 metric tonne of plastic waste
every day. Delhi generates close to 7,000 metric tonne of waste every day, of which over 10 percent
is pure plastic but cannot be disposed even by waste to energy plants because of environmental
reasons.
Plastic will add to the longevity of roads by making them water resistant and also increasing the
resistance of roads to change in weather.

ACC ‘s cement brick units
ACC plans to open a series of cement brick making units in partnership with dealers and social
organisations as joint ventures.
While ACC will provide the expertise and technical support, the joint venture partner, which gets
to retain 80 percent of the profit, would own and operate the units. Each plant calls for an
investment of around Rs.2.5 crores.
The proposed brick units have to compulsorily source cement from ACC, which has opened
19 brick units largely in the northern and eastern part of India. It plans to set up another 26 units in
seven months.
Besides the quality, cement bricks absorb less water and come in a consistent size, cutting down on
the number of bricks required.
For instance, to build a 40x60 sq ft room, 567 cement bricks are required, compared with 798 red
bricks. The use of mortar is also lower as the top layer of the cement brick is well laid.
*****
On an average, a cement brick
unit will be able to cater to one
district, though there are
exceptions. With margin of
Rs.one per brick and an average
production of 55 lakh per year,
the payback period is four years,
though there are units which sell
about 2.6 crore bricks a year.
Some of the red brick
manufacturers have also joined
hands with ACC to set up
cement brick units.

Govt. to ease testing norms for drugs approved abroad
India has taken a series of steps aimed at easing rules for tests and clinical trials needed before the
introduction of drugs that have already been approved in other countries.
The move places greater responsibility on the ethics committee that vets clinical trials and is
expected to cut timelines for the launch of new medicines, including biologics. The Central Drug
Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) notified the changes through a November 10 circular.
If a new drug has already been approved outside India after pre clinical and toxicological studies on
animals, they need not be repeated for approvals related to imports or local manufacture unless
specific concerns are raised.
The Investigational New Drug Committee and Drug Technical Advisory Board set up by the health
ministry had recommended that the norms for additional tests be eased.
In another decision, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has allowed the ethics committee
to add trial sites and investigators after due diligence.
The committee will not need a no objection certificate (NOC) from the DCGI under normal
circumstances. However, the applicant will need to provide information about any additions or
deletions. If NOC is received from the DCGI, it will be deemed to have the concurrence of the
CDSCO, as it comes under the latter's purview.
Through a separate circular, the regulator also allowed companies to submit parallel applications to
the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation, under the department of biotechnology, and the
DCGI for seeking approval of biologic products such as insulin and monoclonal antibodies.
***** Ban on ketoprofane
Animal Husbandry department of Government of India has banned the use of ketoprofane, an
alternative for diclofenac, which was banned by the Central government some time ago.
Ketoprofane, a non steroid anti inflammatory drug was used in animals extensively for fever, pain
and inflammatory conditions. The department procured 25,730 vials of ketoprofane this year and
distributed it to all the government veterinary hospitals and clinics.
Of the total quantity, 2,900 vials of ketoprofane was distributed in Coimbatore, Erode and the
Nilgiris district. Considering the research and recommendations of scientists, the use of
ketoprofane was banned.

Mutant mosquitoes to battle malaria
Two teams of biologists in University of California, USA have created a novel breed of mosquito
that they hope will help eradicate malaria from the world. The mosquito has been engineered to
carry two ingenious genetic modifications.
When a malaria resistant male mosquito mates with a wild female, the gene drive copies both itself
and the resistance genes over from the male chromosome to its female counterpart.
Because almost all the progeny carry the new genes, instead of just 50% as would be expected by
Mendel's laws of genetics, the inserted genes are expected to spread rapidly and take over a wild
population in as few as 10 generations, or a single season.
The anti malarial antibody genes were developed by a group led by Anthony A. James and the gene
drive by Valentino M. Gantz and Ethan Bier of the University of California, San Diego.
Now, the teams plan to refine the mosquitoes' genetics and conduct trials.
In the first-in-human study, researchers from UK
looked at the efficacy of a new inhibitor, ONO/GS-
4059, in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic
leukemia and non-hodgkin lymphoma patients
resistant to current chemotherapies. ONO/GS-4059
targets BTK, a protein essential for the survival and
proliferation of tumour cells.
*****
One is a set of genes that spew out antibodies to
the malarial parasite harboured by the mosquito.
Mosquitoes with these genes are rendered
resistant to the parasite and so cannot spread
malaria.
The other modification is a set of genetic
elements known as a gene drive that should
propel the malaria-resistance genes throughout a
natural mosquito population.

NIKO TO GIVE UP STAKE TO RIL, BP IN NEC-25 GAS BLOCK
Niko Resources of Canada has decided to quit Reliance Industries' gas discovery block NEC-25,
off the Odisha coast, by divesting its 10 per cent stake to the existing partners.
RIL is the operator of the block with 60 per cent interest w.hile BP plc of UK has the remaining
30 percent stake.
Niko's 10 percent interest will be split between RIL and BP in proportion to their equity stake.
Gas discoveries in North-East Coast block NEC-0SN-97/1 (NEC-25) hold recoverable reserves of
1.032 trillion cubic feet.
The Canadian company has been facing cash problems and had even put up for sale its interest in
NEC-25 as well as 10 percent stake in RIL's Krishna Godavari basin oil and gas producing block
KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6. But it hasn't been able to find a buyer.
With the upstream regulator DGH not approving a USD 3.5 billion plan for developing gas
discoveries in block NEC-25 in the absence of its prescribed tests to confirm two of the finds, the
partners opted to do the test on one of the finds and relinquish or give up the other.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the contractor group for the NEC-25 block elected to conduct a
DST for one discovery in the block, Niko said, that relinquishing its interest would eliminate the
company' obligation to fund its share of the DST programme.
RIL had in March 2013 submitted a USD 3.5 billion Integrated Field Development Plan for producing
10 million standard cubic meters per day of gas from the discoveries D-32, D-40, D-9 and D-10 in
NEC-25 by mid-2019.
DGH, the nodal technical arm of Oil Ministry, has however refused to bring the development plan to
block oversight panel, called the Management Committee, for approval disputing commerciality of
D-32 and D-40 in absence of Drill Stem Tests (DSTs) to confirm the finds.
RIL-BP-Niko decided to relinquish D-40 and conduct DST on D-32.
According to RIL, D-32 and D-40 hold an in-place reserve of up to 663 billion cubic feet capable of
producing 170 million standard cubic feet per day.
RIL has so far made eight gas discoveries in the block.

Algae could be green power source
Researchers in Canada have developed a technology that harnesses electrical energy from
blue green algae, that could be used to power cell phones and computers in future.
The team created a power cell that harnesses electrical
energy from the photosynthesis and respiration of blue
green algae. "Both photosynthesis and respiration, which
take place in plants cells, involve electron transfer chains.
By trapping the electrons released by blue-green algae
during photosynthesis and respiration, we can harness the
electrical energy they produce naturally," said
a researcher Muthukumaran Packirisamy.
Nandini Chemical Journal, December 2015 Page 64
ENERGY PAGE
Currently, the photosynthetic power cell exists on a small scale, and consists of an anode, cathode
and proton exchange membrane. The algae are placed in the anode chamber. As they undergo
photosynthesis, the cyanobacteria release electrons to the electrode surface. An external load is
connected to the device to extract the electrons and harness power.

Exmar will provide technology in floating LNG solutions to the integrated project management
team and will participate as equity partner in the LNG receiving terminal. As a State government's
terminal policy, 30 per cent of the operational capacity will be booked by the state PSU.
Exmar had pioneered the floating regasification solutions in the world by introducing the first FSRU
in 2005. The FSRU design has been finalised with Korea based Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine
Engineering (DSME) Shipyard. The delivery of the first FSRU is expected by December 2018.
*****
Swan Energy holds 51 per cent stake in the JV company, Swan LNG
Pvt Ltd, while Exmar Marine and GSPC hold 38 per cent and
11 percent respectively.
The FSRU receiving terminal will have an initial capacity of 5-million
metric tonne per annum (MTPA).
CHINA STARTS BUILDING SECOND BIGGEST OFFSHORE WIND FARM
China's top wind power company has started building the country's second-largest offshore wind farm, state media said, as China aims to boost the nation's clean power industry and cut dependence on fossil fuels that are contributing to smog. Construction of the project in the eastern coastal Fujian province, which is majority owned by Longyuan Power Group Corp Ltd, will take three years at an estimated cost of 8.2 billion yuan ($1.28 billion), Fujian Development and Reform Commission records show. Local government gave the greenlight for the project last month. The plant on Nanri island off the southeast coast of Fujian province will have installed capacity of 400 megawatts (MW) by 2018, state-run news agency Xinhua said. When complete, it will be second only to two other projects which have planned capacity of 600MW. State-owned and Hong Kong-listed Longyuan, a unit of China Guodian Corp, will invest 5.7 billion yuan, or 70 percent of the total funds, with the rest supplied by Jiangyin Sulong Heat and Power Generating Company. Since last year, China, the world's fifth-biggest offshore wind power producer, has approved 44 offshore wind projects in 11 provinces.
