Manufacturing Business of Calcium Carbide (Calcium Acetylide). Investment Opportunities in Chemical Industry.
Calcium carbide or CaC2, also known as acetylene black, is an inorganic compound that has been used since the late 19th century as a raw material in the production of methanol, acetic acid, and acetone, among other products. Although the use of calcium carbide has been largely replaced by technologies that generate acetylene from methane, calcium carbide remains an important industrial chemical.
