The Pure product is a colorless hexagonal crystal. Industrial products are dark gray powder or granules due to impurities such as carbon (graphite). There is a smell of calcium carbide or ammonia. The relative density is 2. 29, and the apparent density is 1.0~1.2g/m3. Melting point 1300 °c. Sublimation began at> 1150 °c. Do not dissolve in water, hygroscopic, water decomposition of ammonia, should not be long-term. Toxic to human body.
nitriding method: the calcium carbide is crushed and evenly mixed into fluorite and return to the furnace lime, and then the powder is ground into calcium carbide powder by ball mill, then enters the nitriding furnace, and reacts with nitrogen at 1000 ℃, after 42~48h, lime nitrogen was generated, and the frit was taken out and crushed by tube mill to obtain calcium cyanamide finished product.
A kind of alkaline fertilizer, is also one of the main raw materials of high-education low-toxic doxine pesticide, can be used as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides (to prevent the spread of schistosomiasis, prevention of root rot, rust, white mold, can kill snails, Leech, etc.). It can also be used as a defoliant for cotton and as a soil improvement agent. It is the basic raw material of organic synthesis industry and plastic industry, and can be used to produce dicyandiamide, melamine and cyanide melt.

toxicity | has systemic toxic effects, especially on the vascular motor center, respiratory center and blood, autonomic neurasthenia syndrome occurs, and endocrine organs And the dysfunction of basal metabolism. After acute poisoning, there may be organic neurological diseases, limb weakness and subsequent polyneuritis. The lethal dose is about 40~50g. Chronic poisoning often occurs asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial wheezing, chronic gastritis and hepatitis, decreased blood pressure, myocardial malnutrition, sexual dysfunction, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, dry skin, itching, and dermatitis. Into the eye can cause suppurative conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers and turbidity. Emergency treatment is to keep quiet. When ocular mucosa is damaged, rinse carefully with water or normal saline, and then drop 1% nofocaine solution into human eyes. In case of acute dermatitis, a wet bandage made of lead water can be given and tightly applied. In case of mild burns, 1% ~ 2% gentian violet, methylene blue or bright green alcohol solution is applied to the injured part. For minor injuries, iodine tincture, furacilin and sterilization tape can be used. Staff should wear work clothes made of dense cloth, gloves, protective glasses and masks. Apply a non-irritating fat ointment to the skin of your hands first. Strict compliance with personal hygiene measures. |
Use | Used as carburizing agent, pig iron desulfurizer, used to make sodium cyanide, cyanamide, dicyandiamide, melamine, etc., used as defoliant or herbicide Calcium cyanamide is also known as lime nitrogen, calcium carbonitride or calcium cyanamide. It is mainly used in the production of carbendazim, benzoate and intermediate cyanamide in pesticides. When used as fertilizer, because calcium cyanamide has strong alkalinity, it is suitable for acidic soil and is generally used as base fertilizer. When exposed to water, cyanamide is initially formed, which is toxic to plants, but it is quickly converted into ammonia. This toxic effect causes plant leaves to fall off, so it can be used as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and cotton defoliants. Calcium cyanamide can also be used as a raw material for the production of plastics, explosives, etc., and can be used for steel nitriding, gold and silver ore treatment, removal of nitrogen oxide in exhaust gas, removal of formaldehyde in wastewater, and corrosion inhibitor for brine, etc. when used as fertilizer, because calcium cyanamide has strong alkalinity, it is suitable for acidic soil and is generally used as base fertilizer. Cyanamide is initially formed when exposed to water, which is toxic to plants, but it is quickly converted into ammonia. This toxic effect causes plant leaves to fall off, so it can be used as herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and cotton defoliants. In industry, it is used for nitriding of steel. Gold and silver ore treatment, removal of nitrogen oxide from waste gas, removal of formaldehyde from waste water and corrosion inhibitor for brine. In addition, calcium cyanamide is used as raw material to produce plastics, pesticides, explosives, etc. It can be used to make cyanide compounds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. An alkaline fertilizer is also one of the main raw materials for high-efficiency and low-toxicity carbendazim pesticides. It can be used as herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides to prevent the spread of schistosomiasis, prevent root rot, rust, white mold, and kill Oncomelania snails, leeches, etc.). It can also be used as cotton defoliant and improve soil. It is the basic raw material of organic synthesis industry and plastic industry, and can be used to produce dicyandiamide, melamine and cyanide melt. |
production method | nitriding method will crush calcium carbide and evenly mix it into fluorite and lime, grind it into calcium carbide powder through a ball mill, then enter a nitride furnace, react with nitrogen at a high temperature of 1000 ℃, generate lime nitrogen after 42~48h, take out the frit and finely crush it through a tube mill. The finished calcium cyanamide is made. Its CaC2 + N2 → CaCN2 + C the calcium carbide is crushed, infiltrated into 1-3% fluorite or calcium chloride, mixed evenly, heated to about 1100 ℃ in a rotary kiln, and the product is produced after nitrogen reaction. Industrial production of calcium cyanamide is obtained by treating calcium carbide powder with nitrogen at high temperature. Reaction equation: CaC2 + N2 → CaCN2 pulverizes calcium carbide, ball milled, mixed with 1% ~ 3% fluorite or calcium chloride, mixed evenly, heated to about 1100 ℃ in a rotary kiln, and reacted with nitrogen to obtain the product. Pure calcium cyanamide can be obtained by reacting ammonia, carbon monoxide and calcium carbonate. |
