Industrial Grade Calcium Carbide Description
Calcium carbide (CaC2) (synonyms: acetylenogen, calcium acetylide, carburo calcico, calcium dicarbide, CAS registration number 75-20-7, molecular weight 64.1)
Compounds of carbon with metals and other elements that are electropositive to carbon are called carbides. These compounds are usually synthesized by subjecting metals or their oxides to a calcination process in the presence of carbon.
Ca +2 C → CaC 2
When calcium carbide reacts with water, acetylene is formed:
CaC 2 +2 H 2 O → Ca (OH) 2 + C 2 H 2
Acetylene (C2H2) is a colourless gas with a faint characteristic odour. Its boiling point is -83.8°C and its freezing point is -80.8°C. Technical acetylene, which is derived from calcium carbide, has an unpleasant odor due to the impurities it contains. Acetylene undergoes combustion in the air, as a result of which a significant amount of heat is released. Therefore, acetylene mixed with oxygen is widely used for welding and cutting metals. Acetylene, a highly reactive compound, burns in air at temperatures up to 3150°C, releasing a significant amount of heat when combined with oxygen. This property makes it a widely used material for welding and cutting metals.
