Abstract: The master equation of one-dimensional three-species reaction-diffusion processes is mapped onto an imaginary-time Schr"odinger equation. In many cases the Hamiltonian obtained is that of an integrable quantum chain. Within this approach we search for all 3-state integrable quantum chains whose spectra are known and which are related to diffusive-reactive systems.Two integrable models are found to appear naturally in this context: the UqwidehatSU(2)-invariant model with external fields and the 3-state UqSu(P/M)-invariant Perk-Schultz models with external fields. A nonlocal similarity transformation which brings the Hamiltonian governing the chemical processes to the known standard forms is described, leading in the case of periodic boundary conditions to a generalization of the Dzialoshinsky-Moriya interaction.
