calcium carbide:
It has a pungent odor and has high flammability. Calcium carbide can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol and benzene. Calcium carbide has a wide range of uses, mainly used in the production of acetylene gas. Acetylene gas can be used as an industrial fuel, a combustion agent for cutting metals, and a raw material for synthetic chemicals. Carbide can also be used to produce open flames for acetylene gas welding, playing an important role in steel smelting, chemical synthesis and other industries. Calcium carbide is produced by co-heating limestone and coal to produce a reaction between gas and limestone. After the gas generated by the reaction is processed, the acetylene in it can be collected and purified to obtain calcium carbide. Safety precautions must be taken into account when using calcium carbide. Acetylene is flammable and explosive. Direct contact and friction with calcium carbide should be avoided and a well-ventilated environment should be maintained.
