Alzchem Group: Sustainability in research - innovative paths for a greener future
Alzchem is producing Calcium Carbide for over 100 years. Calcium Carbide is obtained by a reaction of lime and coke in an electric arc furnace at temperatures of around 1,800 to 2,100 °C. Calcium Carbide is of strategic importance to Alzchem as the starting material for the NCN chain (Calcium Carbide/Calcium Cyanamide chain).
Healthy soils are a key prerequisite for high-yielding harvests in agriculture.
In the production of nitriles, Alzchem relies on highly efficient and environmentally friendly gas phase technology. The technological know-how enables lower emissions and contributes to waste reduction. This is because the in-house waste gas incinerator converts waste gases into water and carbon dioxide or, in the case of chlorinated benzonitriles, into hydrochloric acid. These substances are in turn used in other processes on site.
In mid-April, the first German innovation farm of the dairy cooperative Arla was inaugurated in Kamp-Lintfort (North Rhine-Westphalia). The Alzchem Group is on board as a cooperation partner with the processing aid Eminex®.
