Acetylene Plants C2H2 Generator Filling Stations
Propane produces a flame temperature of ~2800℃ when burned in oxygen. Acetylene produces a flame temperature of ~3100℃ along with oxygen. This high flame temperature makes acetylene a suitable choice for gas welding steel.
Acetylene is generally obtained from the reaction of calcium carbide and water: CaC2 + 2H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 + heat. The manufacture of acetylene is extremely energy intensive. Calcium oxide is mixed with powdered carbon, and the mixture is heated to white hot in a crucible for hours. The carbon slowly reacts with the calcium oxide to form calcium carbide.
Acetylene is the best fuel gas that can be used for welding. It is also useful for brazing, cutting, flame gouging, spot heating, hardening, texturing, cleaning, and thermal spraying of many materials.
