Heated in the electric furnace in a current of air, it yields calcium cyanamide (see cyanamide).    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Part 4 "Bulgaria" to "Calgary"] Reference

Indeed it appears that calcium cyanamide did not come fully up to expectations as a fertilizer, but since its nitrogen content can be converted to ammonia relatively easily, this has not so far proved to be an obstacle to the application of the method to an ever-increasing extent.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1918 - Presentation Speech] Reference

It has been shown that ammonia synthesis is not only more generally applicable than the conventional methods of converting the nitrogen contained in the air into fertilizer, i.e. the manufacture of calcium nitrate or crude calcium cyanamide, but is also now economically more advantageous in almost all countries.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1931 - Presentation Speech] Reference

Whereas it was considered a tremendous success in the past that the nitrogen fertilizer obtained from the nitrogen in the air, e.g. in the form of calcium cyanamide could be sold at the same price as Chile saltpetre, readymade by Nature, the synthetic manufacture of ammonia or ammonium sulphate has in recent years resulted in an actual reduction of the previous, certainly somewhat artificial price of Chile saltpetre.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1931 - Presentation Speech] Reference

Hydrogen cyanide and also cyanamide (formed by combination of CN and NHo radicals), were probably abundant in the primordial cosmic bodies of the solar system.    From Wordnik.com.  [WN.com - Articles related to Scientists uncover mysterious workings of cholera bacteria] Reference

Thus when calcium carbide is heated and brought into contact with nitrogen one atom of carbon is given up and two atoms of nitrogen take its place, resulting in the production of cyanamide.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Story of Electricity] Reference

Modern chemists, however, made it from nitrogen of the very air we breathe, and in Germany it was made during the war from ammonia and calcium cyanamide, both of which may be obtained from the air.    From Wordnik.com.  [Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights] Reference
