Calcium Carbide Powders - China

Calcium Carbide 50-80mm

Calcium carbide is produced industrially in an electric arc furnace from a mixture of lime and coke at approximately 2, 200 °C (3, 990 °F).

It is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of CaC2 - Its main use industrially is in the production of acetylene, calcium cyanamide, steelmaking, carbide lamps.

Acetylene (C2H2) is the world's most efficient standard welding gas with the highest combustion temperature.

The production of acetylene involves the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O) to produce acetylene and milk of lime (Ca(OH)2).

We at Bosco supply high purity Calcium Carbide in any size to produce high purity acetylene gas.

Calcium carbide is a chemical compound with the formula Cac2 - t is a greyishrwhite soid, which reacts vigorously with waterto produce acetyiene gas.

Historicaly, calcium

carbide was an important source of acetylene, and it is still used as a raw material for the production of acetylene.

Uses

Production of Acetylene Gas: The primary use of calcium carbide is in the production of acetylene gas.

When calcium carbide reacts with water, it produces acetylene, a vital precursor for manufacturing various organic compounds, including plastics.

Acetylene is also widely used as a fuel in industrial processes.

Desulfurization of Iron: Calcium carbide is employed in the desulfurization of molten iron.

It reacts with sulfur in the molten iron to form calcium sulfide, which can then be easily removed, improving the quality of the iron.

Manufacture of Calcium Cyanamide: Calcium carbide is used in the production of calcium cyanamide, a valuable nitrogenous fertilizer.

This process involves reacting calcium carbide with nitrogen at high temperatures.

Calcium cyanamide is also a key component in the synthesis of various organic compounds.

Ripening Agent for Fruits: In some regions, calcium carbide is used as an artificial ripening agent for fruits.

However, this practice has raised concerns due to potential health risks associated with trace amounts of harmful chemicals present in the acetylene produced.

Production of PVC: Calcium carbide is an essential raw material in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a versatile plastic widely used in construction, electrical cables, and various other applications.

Production of Synthetic Rubber: Calcium carbide is also used in the production of synthetic rubber, a key material in the manufacturing of tires, footwear, and other rubber products.

Production of Acetylene Black: Acetylene black, a form of elemental carbon used as a reinforcing agent in automobile tires and other rubber products, is produced by the thermal decomposition of acetylene, which is generated from the reaction of calcium carbide with water.

Welding and Cutting Applications: Acetylene produced from the reaction of calcium carbide with water is commonly used in oxyacetylene welding and cutting applications.

The high temperature of the flame makes it ideal for metal cutting and welding.
