I-Calcium carbide (CaC2) inephunga elifana nelikagalikhi futhi ihlangana namanzi ukwenza igesi ye-acetylene kanye ne-calcium hydroxide nokushisa.Esikhathini esedlule, yayisetshenziswa ezibanini zabavukuzi ngokuqhubekayo ukukhiqiza ilangabi elincane le-acetylene ukuze linikeze ukukhanya okuthile ezimayini zamalahle.

I-calcium carbide isetshenziswa njenge-desulfurizer, i-dehydrant yensimbi, uphethiloli ekwenzeni insimbi, i-deoxidizer enamandla nanjengomthombo wegesi ye-acetylene.Isetshenziswa njengesiqalo sokulungiswa kwe-calcium cyanamide, i-ethylene, irabha ye-chloroprene, i-acetic acid, i-dicyandiamide ne-cyanide acetate.Isetshenziselwa izibani ze-carbide, iziqhumane zamathoyizi ezifana ne-big-bang cannon kanye ne-bamboo cannon.Ihlotshaniswa ne-calcium phosphide futhi isetshenziselwa isignali yasolwandle entantayo, ezivutha ngokwayo I-Calcium carbide iyi-carbide ebaluleke kakhulu ezimbonini ngenxa yendima yayo ebalulekile njengesisekelo semboni ye-acetylene.Ezindaweni lapho kushoda khona uphethiloli, I-calcium Carbideisetshenziswa njengesiqalo sokukhiqiza i-acetylene (1 kg ye-carbide ikhiqiza ~300 litres acetylene), yona, engasetshenziswa njengesakhiwo sohlu lwamakhemikhali emvelo (isb. i-vinyl acetate, i-acetaldehyde ne-acetic acid. ).Kwezinye izindawo, i-acetylene iphinde isetshenziselwe ukukhiqiza i-vinyl chloride, impahla eluhlaza yokukhiqiza i-PVC.
Ukusetshenziswa okungabalulekile kwe I-calcium Carbide ihlobene nemboni ye-ferilizers.Ihlangana ne-nitrogen yakhe i-calcium cyanamide, okuyizinto zokuqala ukukhiqizwa kwe-cyanamide (CH2N2).I-Cyanamide ingumkhiqizo wezolimo ojwayelekile osetshenziselwa ukuvuselela ukuhluma kwamahlamvu kusenesikhathi.
I-Calcium Carbide ingasetshenziswa futhi njenge-ejenti ye-desulfurizing ukukhiqiza insimbi ye-carbon sulfur ephansi.Futhi, isetshenziswa njenge-ejenti yokunciphisa ukukhiqiza izinsimbi kusawoti wawo, isb, ukunciphisa ngokuqondile i-copper sulfide ibe yithusi eyinsimbi.ukuvutha.Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuhileleke ekunciphiseni i-copper sulfide ibe yithusi lensimbi.
