I-calcium carbide (i-cac2) ine-odor-njenge-odor efana ne-GARS enamanzi ukwenza i-Acetylene igesi kunye ne-calcium hydroxide nobushushu. Kwixa elidlulileyo, isetyenziswe kwizibane zabasebenzi-mgodini ukuze ivelise idangatye elincinci le-acetylene ukubonelela ngokukhanyisela imigodi yamalahle.

I-calcium carbide isetyenziswa njengesiqhelo, isigculelo sensimbi, ipetroli esenziwa ngentsimbi, iDeoxizer enamandla kunye noMthombo we-Acetylene igesi. Isetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokuqala sokulungiselela i-calcium Syoamide, i-Ethylene, irabha ye-chloroprene, i-acetic acid, dicyandiamide kunye ne-danide i-cyatate. Isetyenziswa kwizibane ze-carbide, i-toy cannons ezinjenge-bang-bang cannon kunye ne-bamboo cannon. Inxulunyaniswa ne-calcium phosphide kwaye isetyenziswa ekuqhubeni i-ping, yokuzibeka kwi-NavalCalcium ye-NavalCalcium yeyona ndawo ifanelekileyo ye-carbide ngowona mveliso ibalulekileyo njengesiseko seshishini le-acetynene. Kwindawo apho kukho ukunqongophala kwePetroleum, I-calcium carbideis used as the starting material for the production of acetylene (1 kg of carbide yields ~300 liters acetylene), which, in turn, can be used as a building block for a range of organic chemicals (eg vinyl acetate, acetaldehyde and acetic acid ). Kwezinye iindawo, uAcetylene usetyenziselwa ukuvelisa i-vinyl chloride, izinto ezingafunekiyo zemveliso ye-PVC.
Ukusetyenziswa okuncinci kwe I-calcium carbide ihambelana nomzi-mveliso we-frilizers. Inika ingxelo nge-nitrogen ukwenza i-calcium i-calcium i-calcimide, yeyiphi na impahla yokuqala yokuveliswa kwe-Cyanamide (Ch2n2). I-Cyanamide yimveliso eqhelekileyo yezolimo esetyenziselwa ukukhuthaza ukubonwa kwangoko.
I-calcium carbide inokuqeshwa kwakhona njenge-arhente yokususa iarhente yokuvelisa i-calbon ye-carbon yentsimbi. Kwakhona, isetyenziswa njengearhente yokucutha ukuvelisa izinyithi ezivela kwiityuwa zazo, umz. iiflethi. Ngapha koko, ibandakanyeka ekunciphiseni i-sulfer yobhedu kwi-metric yobhedu.
