How to Make Acetylene Gas
Acetylene is one of the popular gases used in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting. It comprises of two carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms which is chemically represented as C2H2. There are two processes to make this compound—chemical reaction and thermal cracking using diverse type of materials. We are focused only on the chemical process for which calcium carbide is the raw material for production of acetylene for commercial purposes.
Calcium carbide is made by a mixture of lime and coke in a blast furnace. And, the product so formed is calcium carbide. Acetylene gas is generated by reaction of calcium carbide with water as the reaction a great deal heat which is moderated by water to avoid fires and explosions. The chemical reaction of the process is CaC2 + 2H2O → C2H2 + Ca (OH) 2. The reaction generates acetylene gas, calcium hydroxide and heat. Acetylene is separated by dissolving the product in solvent called acetone.

Industry Benefits
The cost of the acetylene cylinder filling plant would depend on the capacity and technology used. It is expensive equipment requiring significant amount of investment.
Acetylene gas is dissolved in liquid acetone to make it stabilized and non-reactive within the cylinder. It is essential for storage of the fuel gas and usage.
Three main advantages of acetylene include cheaper welding compared MIG/TIG, offers greater portability and it can be used to flame-cut large pieces of material.
The temperature of the oxy-acetylene torch is 3000 degrees Celsius. Such high temperature of the torch is generated by the combustion of oxygen and acetylene.
