Calcium Carbide 50-80mm Calcium carbide is produced industrially in an electric arc furnace from a mixture of lime and coke at approximately 2,200 C (3,990 F).It is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of CaC2.Its main use industrially is in the production of acetylene, calcium cyanamide, steelmaking, carbide lamps. Calcium Carbide Powder Acetylene (C2H2) is the world's most efficient standard welding gas with the highest combustion temperature. The production of acetylene involves the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O) to produce acetylene and milk of lime (Ca(OH)2). We at Bosco supply high purity Calcium Carbide in any size to produce high purity acetylene gas. Uses Heating calcium carbide powder and nitrogen to produce calcium cyanamide (lime nitrogen. Calcium cyanamide) Calcium carbide is used as a desulfurizer in the iron and steel industry. The main raw material for producing acetylene gas. Used for cutting and welding of metal materials. Synthetic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Calcium carbide lamps Production of chemicals for fertilizer Steel making and fruit ripening
