Studies on Reaction Between Gas and Solid. Vi. Azotation of Calcium Carbide and the Effect of Catalysers on Its Velocity
Year: 1932
Type: article
Abstract: The effects of some catalytic substances to the velocity of azotation of both powdered and “granular” carbide were experimentally determined. 1. There is an optimum quantity of calcium fluoride to be added to the carbide to get the highest velocity of azotation, the quantity of which is a function of both carbide and reaction temperature. 2. The added substances not only have some influence upon the velocity, but also change the characteristics of the velocity curves of azotation. 3. Carbon and carbon containing substances or those which sets carbon free from carbide show strong catalytic action to the azotation of calcium carbide. The opinion that the nascent carbon must be acting as a catalyser is supported.
