Acetylene (C2H2) is the world's most efficient and hottest burning welding gas. For producing acetylene, the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O) is used, whereas acetylene and lime milk (Ca(OH)2) is generated.
CaC2 + 2 H2O --> C2H2 + Ca(OH)2
Einen Tag lang durfte Niklas Kahler aus Kastl, den beiden AlzChem-Chemikern Dr. Frank Eißmann und Dr. Sebastian Fischer-Messik über die Schulter schauen.

Established for many years, AlzChem has paid another visit to India on the occasion of ChemSpec India 2016. Prior to the show, we experienced the diversity of the country and the enormous distances required to meet customers locally. We supported our local partner Chemet at their booth in many meetings focused particularly around cyanamide, dicyandiamide and nitrile derivatives. Since Indian companies produce many generic versions of world leading drugs, it was no surprise that we again could bag purchase orders into our luggage.
Following an application of AlzChem AG for authorization of a health claim for creatine the respective EFSA Panel (European Food Safety Authority) delivered a positive opinion on the effect of creatine: “Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55”. The daily intake should be at least 3 g creatine and should be combined with regular resistance training of moderate intensity.
