In addition, the use of the compound in the creation of nanowire for electronic uses also helps fuel its market in the nanotechnology field. Overall, industrial Aluminium Carbide procurement is influenced by its application in the aerospace and automotive industries, its utilization in metallurgy, its employment in the ceramics industry, and its usage in nanotechnology.
Raw Material for Aluminium Carbide Production
According to the Aluminium Carbide production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Aluminium Carbide include aluminium powder.
Production Process of Aluminium Carbide
The extensive Aluminium Carbide production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- Production from aluminium powder: The production process of Aluminium Carbide starts with the reaction of aluminium powder with carbon. The mixture is then subjected to high temperature at an inert atmosphere to get Aluminium Carbide.
Aluminium Carbide is a yellow crystalline powder having the molecular formula C3Al4 and a molecular weight of 143.96 g/mol. It has a density of around 2.36 g/cm³ at 25 °C. It does not dissolve in water but is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid. It has an estimated boiling point of 2200°C and a melting point of 2100°C. It is stable up to a temperature of 1440 °C. It releases CH4 and Al (OH)3 upon decomposition in water. It can catch fire because it is moisture-sensitive and releases flammable gasses when it comes into touch with water.
