Title: Experimental study on new route to acetylene by using powder of coal and limestone in plasma reactor

Conference ·
OSTI ID:433890

In this paper, a new route to acetylene is described to use coal and precrushed limestone powder to produce CaC{sub 2}. Also the plasma reactor design is given. The significant advantages over coke and CaO based routes are: (1) the system produces no effluent; (2) coal and limestone as raw material (isn`t CaO); (3) clean fuel gas (H{sub 2}, CO...) that can be burned to provide heat for electricity generator; and (4) calcium hydroxide can be treated with salt to give caustic soda and calcium chloride by products.
