Gas Carbide - outstanding gas yield for acetylene

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)
