How an Acetylene Gas Plant Works

The process for producing acetylene gas involves a chemical reaction between calcium carbide and water. Raw materials used in the reaction are water and calcium carbide, which is popular for commercial production of acetylene. CaC2 (chemical formula for calcium carbide) is made by a mixture of line and coke in a blast furnace. The reaction between water and Cac2 is formulated as CaC2 + 2H2O -> C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 The reaction generates C2H2 (acetylene), calcium hydroxide and heat. Very less moisture content is generated during the reaction.

Detailed Technical Process for Acetylene Production

The process for generation of acetylene gas is described in detail below. We use the standard size of calcium carbide during the testing of acetylene gas plants. However, you can use the CaC2 of varying sizes which will have impact on the performance.
