Basics
- A chemical compound with the chemical formula of CaC2
- Used for production of Acetylene and for Carbon Capture
Production
“Easy” Way
- Used Metallic Calcium and
“Hard” Way
- The more traditional large scale route
- Uses Calcium Oxide and Carbon
- Industrially “Lime” and Coke are used
- These are put into an Electric Arc Furnace
- Then Calcium Carbide is Produced
To-Do’s
- Open Source Electric Arc Furnace
- Open Source Carbon Arc Electrode / Carbon Electrode
- The main DIY/OS method used is the Carbon Electrode from 6v Lantern Battery
- The main downside about this is they are becoming harder to find, and this is a bit wasteful of a sourcing method
- [[
