Experiments have been conducted on the formation of calcium carbide in the solid state from 2.22-cm diameter cylindrical pellets of a 3/1 mole mixture of carbon and lime between 1650°C and 1720°C at 50 mm Hg CO pressure. The reaction was modelled assuming that heat transfer across a growing product layer controls the rate of movement of a reaction front where the overall reaction to form CaC2 is assumed to occur instantaneously to a fractional conversion f. The model depends upon a knowledge of the CaC2 decomposition rate in the product layer ko2e−ΔE/RgT and the effective thermal conductivity k0. These may be estimated from independent data but require adjustment for particular pellet conditions. Good agreement with the data shows that the model is adequate for preliminary design and optimization studies.
