I-Calcium carbide (CaC2) inevumba elifana negalikhi kwaye idibana namanzi ukwenza igesi ye-acetylene kunye ne-calcium hydroxide kunye nobushushu. Ngaphambili, yayisetyenziswa kwizibane zabasebenzi basezimayini ukuvelisa ngokuqhubekayo idangatye elincinci le-acetylene ukubonelela ukukhanya kwimigodi yamalahle.

I-calcium carbide isetyenziselwa i-desulfurizer, i-dehydrant yensimbi, i-fuel ekwenzeni isinyithi, i-deoxidizer enamandla kunye nomthombo wegesi ye-acetylene. Isetyenziswe njengento yokuqala yokulungiswa kwe-calcium cyanamide, i-ethylene, i-rubber chloroprene, i-acetic acid, i-dicyandiamide kunye ne-cyanide acetate. Isetyenziswa kwizibane ze-carbide, iinkanunu zokudlala ezifana ne-big-bang cannon kunye ne-bamboo cannon. Idityaniswe ne-calcium phosphide kwaye isetyenziselwa ukudada, ukuzitshisela isignali ye-navalCalcium carbide yeyona carbide ifanelekileyo kwishishini ngenxa yendima yayo ebalulekileyo njengesiseko soshishino lwe-acetylene. Kwiindawo apho kukho ukunqongophala kwepetroleum, Calcium Carbideisetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokuqala ukuveliswa kwe-acetylene (i-1 kg yezivuno ze-carbide ~ 300 ilitha ye-acetylene), enokuthi, isetyenziswe njengebhloko yokwakha uluhlu lweekhemikhali eziphilayo (umz. i-vinyl acetate, i-acetaldehyde kunye ne-acetic acid. ). Kwezinye iindawo, i-acetylene ikwasetyenziselwa ukuvelisa i-vinyl chloride, into ekrwada yokuveliswa kwePVC.
Ukusetyenziswa okungabalulekanga kangako Calcium Carbide inxulumene noshishino lweeferiliza. Idibana ne-nitrogen yenze i-calcium cyanamide, eyimathiriyeli yokuqala ukuveliswa kwe-cyanamide (CH2N2). I-Cyanamide yimveliso yezolimo eqhelekileyo esetyenziselwa ukuvuselela amagqabi kwangethuba.
I-Calcium Carbide inokuqeshwa njenge-ejenti ye-desulfurizing ukuvelisa intsimbi ye-carbon sulfur ephantsi. Kwakhona, isetyenziswa njenge-arhente yokunciphisa ukuvelisa isinyithi kwiityuwa zazo, umz, ukunciphisa ngokuthe ngqo kwe-sulfide yobhedu ukuya kwi-metallic copper. amadangatye. Ukongezelela, kubandakanyeka ekunciphiseni i-sulfide yobhedu kwi-metallic copper.
