Calcium Carbide, also known as Carbide Calcium, is a chemical Inorganic Product with the chemical formula of CaC2. Its main use industrially is in the production of acetylene and calcium cyanamide. The pure material is colorless, however pieces of Pvc Resin technical-grade calcium carbide are grey or brown and consist of about 80–85% of Calcium Carbide 50-80mm (the rest is CaO (calcium oxide), Ca3P2 (calcium phosphide), CaS (calcium sulfide), Ca3N2 (calcium nitride), SiC (silicon carbide), etc.). In the presence of trace moisture, technical-grade calcium carbide emits an unpleasant odor Calcium Carbide 70-100reminiscent of garlic. Applications of calcium carbide include manufacture of acetylene gas, and for generation of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate acetylene in carbide lamps; manufacture of chemicals for fertilizer; and in steelmaking. Calcium Carbide Price 100kg is sometimes used as source of acetylene gas, which is a ripening agent similar to ethylene.However, this is illegal in some countries as, in the production of acetylene from Calcium Carbide South Africa, contamination often leads to trace production of phosphine and arsine.These impurities can be removed by passing the acetylene gas through acidified copper sulfate solution, but, in developing countries, this precaution is often neglected.
