Calcium Carbide Powder Mill

Calcium Carbide Powder

Calcium carbide is a chemical compound whose chemical formula is CaC2. It is composed of calcium and carbide. In its pure form, calcium carbide is colorless. The quality of calcium carbide is decided by its clarity. But it often turns up black and gray because of the industrial manufacturing process. Calcium carbide is used in various activities because of its diversified characteristic features. It finds most of its uses in manufacturing various chemical substances.

Calcium Carbide Powder Production

Calcium carbide powder production is also the milling process. It is multistage operation may involving crushing and grinding.

Typically, primary crushing and screening take place at the mine site. Primary crushing is accomplished by using gyratory and cone crushers. Primary crushing yields chunks of ore ranging in size from 6 to 10 inches. Oversize material is passed through additional crushers and classifiers to achieve the desired particle size.

Secondary crushing, if necessary and economical, is accomplished by using standard cone crushers followed by short head cone crushers. Gyratory crushers may also be used.

Subsequent fine grinding further reduces the ore particles to the consistency of fine powder of 325 mesh. The choice of grinding circuit is based on the density and hardness of the ore to be ground.

Calcium Carbide Powder Mill

Grinding is a medchanical process where large particles are acted upon to produce smaller particles. Many powder mill are developed for calcium carbide powder production. The most common types of mill used for calcium carbonate powder production is the horizontal ball mill.
