DIFF Subclass Not Allocatable
C10H

PRODUCTION OF ACETYLENE BY WET METHODS

Introduced: September 1968

Description

C10H covers chemical processes for acetylene production using wet methods, primarily through the reaction of calcium carbide with water. This subclass encompasses the equipment, reaction conditions, and purification techniques essential to acetylene generation via hydrolysis. Typical inventions include carbide reactors, acetylene scrubbers, and systems for removing impurities such as phosphine and hydrogen sulfide from the product gas. This classification excludes dry methods of acetylene production and other synthesis routes for acetylene (covered elsewhere in C10).

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 11 subcodes exist in both systems.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
