Calcium Carbide Lumps 50g - Consolidated Chemical

Description

Calcium Carbide is a gray or black solid substance that is commonly used in a variety of industrial applications. Upon contact with water, it reacts vigorously to produce acetylene gas (C₂H₂) and calcium hydroxide, making it an essential compound in welding, metal cutting, and various chemical processes. Calcium Carbide is also known for its role in producing acetylene gas for lighting and as a precursor in the production of chemicals and plastics.

???? Storage Guidelines:

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture and water sources.
• Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent exposure to air and humidity, which can cause dangerous reactions.
• Store in non-reactive, airtight containers made of metal or high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
• Do not store near water, acids, oxidizing agents, or flammable materials.
• Recommended storage temperature: Between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).
• Store in a designated hazardous materials area, compliant with local regulations for flammable and reactive chemicals.

⚠️ Handling Precautions:

• Avoid contact with water, as Calcium Carbide reacts with water to produce flammable acetylene gas.
• Handle with protective gloves, safety goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing to avoid skin and eye contact.
• Ensure the work area is well-ventilated to prevent the buildup of acetylene gas.
• Do not smoke or use open flames near Calcium Carbide, as acetylene gas is highly flammable.
• Use non-sparking tools to handle Calcium Carbide to reduce the risk of ignition.
• Avoid inhaling dust or fumes generated during handling.

???? Avoid:

• Avoid moisture or water contact, including high humidity, to prevent gas production.
• Do not store  near acids, oxidizers, or flammable substances.
• Avoid open flames, sparks, and static electricity in areas where Calcium Carbide is handled or stored.
• Do not store near food or drink.

???? Container Management:

• Store in airtight, moisture-proof containers.
• Ensure containers are clearly labeled with hazard warnings, product name, and batch number.
• Regularly inspect containers for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks.
• Keep off the ground and store in dry, elevated areas to avoid accidental contact with water.

♻️ Disposal Guidelines:

Dispose  in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations for hazardous chemical waste.

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.

The company is the world’s best 50-80mm calcium carbide supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
