Industrial Grade Calcium Carbide Stone

Calcium Carbide is an inorganic compound. Industrial Grade Calcium Carbide Stone are gray, yellow brown, or black solids, with those containing higher levels of CALCIUM CARBIDE appearing purple. Industrial Grade Calcium Carbide Stone is immediately react violently with water to generate acetylene and release heat. Calcium carbide is an important basic chemical raw material, mainly used to produce acetylene gas. Also used in organic synthesis, oxyacetylene welding, etc.

BASIC INFORMATION:

Product name: Calcium Carbide

SPECIFICATION:

APPLICATION:

(1) Calcium carbide is an important raw material for acetylene chemical industry. The acetylene generated by the reaction of calcium carbide with water can synthesize many organic compounds, such as synthetic rubber, artificial resin, acetone, ketones, carbon black, etc; Meanwhile, acetylene oxygen flame is widely used in the welding and cutting of metals.

(2) When heating powdered calcium carbide with nitrogen gas, the reaction produces calcium cyanamide, which is lime nitrogen:

(3) Calcium carbide itself can be used as a desulfurizer in the steel industry.

(4) Production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

STORAGE:

Calcium carbide must store in a cool, dry, and well ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sparks and heat sources. Maintain relative humidity below 75%. The packaging must be sealed and not damp. It should be stored separately from acids, alcohols, etc., and should not be stored together. The storage area should be equipped with appropriate materials to contain leaked materials.
