Technical Gases
One of the main applications of Calcium Carbide is the production of acetylene gas.
CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) -> C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s)
Besides its use as a major chemical building block, acetylene is the hottest burning standard welding gas and consumes the least amount of oxygen for complete combustion.
C2H2(g) + 2,5O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) + H2O(g)
Calcium carbide in purest quality
Alzchem produces Calcium Carbide in highest good quality with an average gas yield of 300 l/kg Calcium Carbide.
Shipment is possible in turnbin containers (different construction types) or in 100 kg steel drums. For optimal cargo space utilization, 9 drums fit on one pallet and can thus be loaded on trucks or into a sea container to save space. Likewise, customer owned audited containers can also be filled by Alzchem or Nordic Carbide.
