Bulk Calcium Carbide Supply for Industrial Use

Calcium carbide has several specific uses, and here are some primary applications:

1.Acetylene Gas Production: Calcium carbide is a major source of acetylene gas. When calcium carbide reacts with water, it generates acetylene gas. Acetylene gas finds widespread use in welding, cutting, metal processing, as well as in lighting and heating.

2.Organic Synthesis: As a chemical raw material, calcium carbide is employed in the production of various organic compounds. For example, it can be used to synthesize vinyl chloride, chloroprene rubber, synthetic resins, and more.

3.Oxyacetylene Welding: The acetylene gas produced from calcium carbide, when mixed with oxygen, is utilized in oxyacetylene welding, extensively applied in metal welding and cutting.

4.Calcium Cyanamide Production: Calcium carbide can also be used to produce calcium cyanamide, a chemical fertilizer used for plant growth.

5.Desulfurizing Agent: In some industries, calcium carbide acts as a desulfurizing agent, helping to reduce sulfur oxide emissions from combustion.

Please Note:It's important to note that due to the characteristics of calcium carbide, especially its tendency to produce acetylene gas upon contact with water, its applications need to adhere to safety and environmental standards.

Q: What is the primary use of calcium carbide?
A: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?
A: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?
A: 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?
A: Our calcium carbide factory is situated in Inner Mongolia, in close proximity to the source of carbide raw materials. Spanning across an area of square meters, our facility boasts a monthly production capacity of tons.

Q: How can you guarantee the quality? 
A: 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: GB-.


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

Q: What is the delivery time? 
A: Typically, the delivery time is within 20 days upon receipt of the deposit or original L/C.

posted on 22-5- at 03:30 calcium carbide from calcium chloride, magnesium and coal


so i thought about an easy way to make calcium carbide from household items. I discovered that melting a mixture of calcium chloride (pellets for humidity) and magnesium turnings gives a blackish solid that react with water as calcium would do. As it react the water gets cloudy (calcium hydroxide), so this is probably calcium metal (Mg + CaCl2 → Ca + MgCl2). So now i thought to add some coal to the mix, so while calcium forms, it reacts with carbon and gives calcium carbide. Unfortunately i didn't do this yet, although it looks feasible. Any ideas?

Even if it worked, I think you would at most get finely divided crystals of CaC2 that would react immediately with atmospheric moisture, since larger granules can only be formed when the substance is melted somewhere around 3,000 degrees Celsius.
Carbide is usually a widely available reagent. I have doubts about the economic viability of a production route that requires metallic magnesium. I have a microwave transformer that I found in the junkyard whose secondary was rewound in order to supply 38V, if i use it to open an arc with graphite electrodes close to a mixture of powdered graphite and CaO/Ca(OH)2/CaCO3, it usually yields some carbide. Production processes on an industrial scale are not always suitable for the amateur chemist, but this is one of them. As it was adopted by the industry, I am inclined to believe that it is the cheapest route as well. Anyway, try and report your experiments!

From "Chemie und ihre Technologie".
For Carbide electricity isnt nesecary only engough heat. An reaction of
3CaO + 6C + 2Al (powder)= 3CaC2 + 2Al2O3.The Thermal heat of the Thermit reaction is enough for CaC2 production but it was never used because electricity is cheaper.I cant finde the text passage now but an frechn guy used magnesium instead. BauArf56

that's what i wanted! exploiting the high heat generated by the magnesium to make sure the calcium and carbon react.

For the electrochemical stuff, there would be the same problem with the reaction between magnesium and sodium hydroxide: although magnesium is less reactive than sodium, at high temp, it's able to reduce it (for a better explanation see this: https://www.instructables.com/Making-Sodium-Metal/). Anyway, i tried, but it's too hard to ignite, so i'm going to wait to get a new blowtorch...

Considering any second hand sales of magnesium, thermite compounds etc command a significant premium, it would be hardly economical to produce it yourself by a significant margin. The large industry benefits from getting their stuff at market price.

What costs $4 per kg at market, you will pay minimum 20-50$ or even more even if you buy bulk. If you buy commercialized goods, the price can have even a second 0 before the nomination. BauArf56
