  • Uses Aluminum carbide is used as an abrasive material for cutting tools. It is also used to reduce metal oxides and to prepare aluminum nitride and methane. It and also finds use in metallurgy. Further, it acts as a catalyst and a drying agent. In generating methane; reducing metal oxides; in manufacture of aluminum nitride.
Technology Process of Aluminum carbide

There total 74 articles about Aluminum carbide which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:
Guidance literature:
metal Al with theor. amount of carbon was heated in elec. furnace at 1975-2000 °C, atmospheric pressure, H2 atmosphere; commercial H2 contains N2, therefore product contains AlN; other soilings: Fe, Al, Si;
Guidance literature:
In gaseous matrix; byproducts: CH4; pyrolysis of alkylaluminium vapor at 900-1100°C in Ar-stream; electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction;
DOI:10.1111/j.1151-2916.1995.tb08250.x
