Calcium Carbide

Calcium carbide is an inorganic compound with the following primary commercial applications： generation of acetylene, production of calcium cyanamide (a nitrogen fertilizer), use in the iron (foundry) and steel industries as a desulfurization reagent in the production of ductile iron and steel, and as a slag modifier/conditioner (reducer) in steel production.
Mainland China is the dominant player in the calcium carbide market. Driven by large Chinese coal reserves and the rapid development of chemical production—especially for the production of VCM and BDO from acetylene—Chinese production and consumption of calcium carbide has grown strongly in the past decade. Growth will moderate during the forecast period because of recent capacity rationalizations and the general slowing of economic growth in China, but global consumption of calcium carbide will continue to grow at a strong rate during 2019–24.
