CALCIUM CARBIDE

RAW MATERIALS OF MAKING OF ACETYLENE GAS

While the calcium carbide is sometimes used directly as a processing material,its main use is obtained when the stones react with water to produce acetylene gas.The performance required is 295 liters per kg,commercial grain size depends on the reactor which will be used.As its combination with oxygen develops flames that exceed the 3300 C (6000F),Acetylene is used for cutting and welding in the metalworking industry.The temperature reached by the acetylene gas is higher than that obtained by the combustion of any hydrocarbon gas,also has better cutting and welding effect.
