About Calcium Carbide

Calcium carbide is an inorganic compound produced at a temperature of 3632 ⁰F. The reaction of lime and coke in an EAF containing graphite electrodes produces carbide, in which calcium carbide weighs around 80%-85%. The content of calcium carbide in the product is determined by the measure of acetylene produced on hydrolysis. The small fractions of impurities produce phosphine when the product is hydrolyzed. The release of phosphine indicates the presence of phosphide. The calcium carbide, in its pure form is white in color. The brown or grey color crystal in the rock form contains 80%-85% of calcium carbide and 15%-20% of calcium sulfide, calcium nitride, silicon carbide, and others. The traces of moisture release a pungent odor, similar to that of garlic.
