Packing & Shipping Information

Application

• Calcium Carbide for Steel Desulfurization and Metallurgical Treatment

  Calcium carbide is an established material in the iron, steel, and foundry industries, where it can be used for desulfurization, slag conditioning, reduction, and other metallurgical treatment processes.

• Calcium Carbide in Industrial Gas Production: The Role of CaC₂ in Acetylene Supply

  Calcium carbide is one of the established raw materials used to produce acetylene gas, an important industrial gas and chemical intermediate.

• Calcium Carbide for Oxy-Acetylene Welding and Cutting: Applications, Benefits and Selection Guide

  Calcium carbide (CaC₂) has been an important raw material for acetylene production for more than a century. By reacting calcium carbide with water, acetylene gas can be generated and subsequently used with oxygen for welding, cutting, brazing, and other metalworking applications.

FAQ

• Q: What is the primary use of calcium carbide?

  

  Calcium carbide is primarily used in two main areas: the production of acetylene gas and organic synthesis. It is a major source of acetylene gas, which finds widespread applications in welding, cutting, lighting, and more. Additionally, calcium carbide serves as a raw material for organic synthesis to produce chemicals like vinyl chloride and synthetic resins.

• Q: What are some other uses of calcium carbide?

  

  In addition to its primary uses, calcium carbide can be used in oxyacetylene welding, the production of calcium cyanamide for plant growth, and as a desulfurizing agent to reduce sulfur oxide emissions from combustion.

• Q: What are the safety precautions for handling calcium carbide?

  

  Calcium carbide reacts with water to produce flammable acetylene gas, so careful handling is crucial. Storing and using it should follow safety protocols, keeping away from ignition sources and heat. Additionally, due to the flammable and explosive nature of acetylene gas, appropriate safety measures should be observed during usage.

• Q: Where is your plant located?

  

  Our calcium carbide factory is located at the border between Inner Mongolia and Hebei, close to the source of calcium carbide raw materials. The factory covers an area of 5,000 square meters and has a monthly production capacity of 8,000 tons.

• Q: How can you guarantee the quality? 

  

  We ensure product quality through several measures. During the carbide processing, we conduct multiple sampling tests to ensure products yield good gas output. Regular air pressure tests are performed on drums to ensure tight and safe sealing. Different sizes are stored separately to prevent mixing. Prior to loading, we conduct another sampling test to ensure the loaded goods have accurate weight, sizes, gas output, and quantity. Our carbide production adheres to the Chinese National Standard: GB10665-2004.

• Q: What is the gas yield?

  

  Typically, the gas yield of the particle size 80-120mm, 50-80mm, 25-50mm is 295L/KG.
