Calcium Carbide (CC)
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is a chemical compound with a grayish-black appearance, known for its unique properties and versatile applications. Produced through the reaction of lime and coke in an electric arc furnace, Calcium Carbide is primarily used in various industrial applications.
Handling and Storage : Mono Sodium Glutamate
Keep in an airtight container. If you spill this chemical, dampen the solid spill material with water before transferring it to an appropriate receptacle. To pick up any residual particles, use moistened absorbent paper.
- Cemical Formula: CaC₂
- Molecular Weight: 64.10 g/mol
- Appearance: Solid, grayish-black crystalline lumps
- Odor: Garlic-like (due to the formation of acetylene gas on contact with moisture)
Key Features
- - High reactivity with water
- - Efficient source of acetylene gas
- - Stable under normal storage conditions
- - Widely used in industrial and commercial processes
Applications
- Acetylene Gas Production: Calcium Carbide reacts with water to produce acetylene gas, which is a key component in welding, metal cutting, and as a raw material in the chemical industry.
- Desulfurization in Steel Manufacturing: Calcium Carbide is used as a powerful desulfurizing agent in the steel industry, helping to remove sulfur impurities from molten steel.
- Fertilizer Production: It is a key ingredient in the manufacturing of calcium cyanamide, a nitrogen fertilizer.
- Mining and Tunneling: In mining and construction, acetylene lamps powered by Calcium Carbide are used for illumination in areas where electricity is not feasible.
- Chemical Synthesis: Used in the production of various organic chemicals, including PVC, solvents, and plastics.
Handling and Storage
- - Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture.
- - Handle with care to prevent exposure to water or moisture, as this will generate acetylene gas.
- - Use proper protective equipment when handling to avoid direct contact
Packaging
- Available in various packaging options, including drums, bags, and containers, to suit different industrial requirements.
Safety Considerations
- - Highly reactive with water, releasing flammable acetylene gas.
- - Handle with care to avoid contact with moisture.
- - Ensure proper ventilation during use.
Technical Specifications
- - Purity: Typically ranges from 75-85% CaC₂.
- - Granulometry: Available in various sizes depending on application requirements.
- - Impurities: Contains minimal amounts of phosphorus, sulfur, and other contaminants.
