Calcium Carbide Market Overview
Calcium carbide is a grayish-black lump or crystalline (sandlike) powder with a garlic-like odor. The other name of calcium carbide is calcium acetylide. Furthermore, its chemical formula is CaC2. It is a compound used in industries for production. It is used to produce acetylene gas, as a reducing agent, and in steel manufacturing and metal cutting. It is harmful for human consumption.
Calcium carbide is produced industrially by using calcium oxide and coke. It is used in the chemical industry for a variety of applications that include acetylene gas manufacturing and for the generation of acetylene in carbide lamps; chemicals manufacturing for fertilizer; and also in steelmaking. Steel is used in the construction industry because of its exceptional qualities like ductility and durability. It aids in the construction of earthquake-resistant structures. The increased use of high-speed trains in nations like China, Japan, and India has resulted in the development of special rails, which has increased carbon steel usage. As a result, demand for crude steel is predicted to boost the calcium carbide market growth during the forecast period.
The calcium carbide market size is segmented on the basis of application, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of application, the market is divided into acetylene gas, calcium cyanamide, reducing & dehydrating agent, desulfurizing & deoxidizing agent, and others. By end-use industry the market is classified into chemicals, metallurgy, pharmaceutical, food, and others. On the basis of region, the calcium carbide Industry is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
