Calcium Carbide

Calcium carbide is used:

In the desulfurization of iron (pig iron, cast iron and steel)

As a fuel in steel-making to extend the scrap ratio to liquid iron, depending on economics.

As a powerful deoxidizer at ladle treatment facilities.

In every case, consistent carbide purity and sizing are of special importance, especially with respect to oversize and fines. We can provide the grade size ofCalciumCarbide that best meets the requirements of a particular application.

What’s the property of Calcium Carbide?

Property: Grey, brown or black solid, purple when its purity is higher, the specific gravity is 2.22(18 ), melting point is 2300, the product can absorb water in the air and conduct electricity. They higher its purity is, the easier it conducts, it dissolves in water, turns into acetylene and calcium hydroxide and releases heat.

Usage and packing of Calcium Carbide：

Use: Calcium carbide is an important basic material in organic synthesis industry, Acetylene obtanied from calcium carbide is raw material to make ethylene, chloroprene rubber, calcium cyanamide, acetic acd, acetaldehydr, ethylacetate, cyanide acetate, dicyandiamide, acetone, octanol, trichloride ethylene etc. Also used as desulfurizer and dehydrant of steel and for cutting and welding metals.
Packing: in 50kgs/100kgs iron drum.
