Calcium carbide is an off-white solid with the molecular formula CaC 2 and a molecular weight of 64.10. It was first discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862 to react with water to produce acetylene and calcium hydroxide. It is commercially known as carbide and is commonly used to produce acetylene gas.
Calcium carbide has a melting point of about 2300°C, a density of 2.22, and is a tetragonal crystal at room temperature. Its structure consists of calcium ions and acetylene ions, which transform into a cubic system at 450°C. Pure calcium carbide is colorless, but commercial varieties are gray or brown due to impurities, the main component of which is CaC 2.
Calcium carbide is mainly used to produce acetylene gas for industrial purposes, including lime nitrogen fertilizers and acetylene burners. It has historical significance in the synthesis of organic compounds and is used as a desulfurization agent in steelmaking.
Great potential for cost savings
Minimum sulfur content in slag, high sulfur content
Recovery of chromium, manganese, silicon, and iron from slag
Gas deoxidation products have improved purity
