Technical information on chemical reagents:

• Chemical formula: CaC2
• CAS number: 75-20-7
• EG number: 200-848-3

Examples of professional applications in various industries:

• Chemical Industry - Production of acetylene: Calcium carbide (CaC₂) is used in the chemical industry to produce acetylene, an important raw material for many chemical syntheses and as a fuel gas in welding technology.
• Steel Industry - Desulfurization of steel: In the steel industry, calcium carbide is used for desulfurization of steel. It reacts with sulfur to form calcium and sulfur compounds that can be easily removed, improving the quality of the steel.
• Agriculture - Fruit ripening acceleration: Calcium carbide is used in agriculture to accelerate the ripening of fruits such as bananas and mangoes. The released acetylene acts as a ripening gas.
• Research and Development - Experiments and studies: Calcium carbide is used in laboratories for various chemical experiments and studies, especially in research on acetylene and other chemical reactions.
