The self-baking electrode is composed of the electrode cylinder and the electrode paste added to the electrode cylinder. During the production process of the calcium carbide furnace, the electrode paste below the conductive clip is baked into a mature carbon electrode by resistance heat, conduction heat and radiation heat, and the carbon electrode is baked at the end Continuous consumption under the action of the arc requires continuous welding of the electrode cylinder on the upper part of the electrode cylinder, and continuous addition of electrode paste into the electrode cylinder to form a self-baking electrode for continuous production.
The characteristics of high safety risks in calcium carbide production, poor operational stability, multiple professions and labor involved, high energy consumption, high pollution, and high risks mean that the calcium carbide industry is subject to strict national production capacity control, environmental protection supervision, and safety supervision. According to the notice issued by the official website of the National Development and Reform Commission on February 11, 2022 on the "Guidelines for the Implementation of Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2022 Edition)", for enterprises with energy efficiency below the benchmark level, especially below the benchmark level, guide Renovate and upgrade, strengthen technical research, promote agglomeration and development, and accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity. Under this survival of the fittest mechanism, how to effectively prevent potential safety hazards, increase production capacity, save energy and reduce carbon, reduce costs, achieve green and high-quality development, and realize the transformation and upgrading of intelligent manufacturing has always been the focus of the majority of calcium carbide manufacturers.
