The invention relates to a preparation method of formed semicoke for 
calcium carbide, belonging to a method for producing formed semicoke for 
calcium carbide. The preparation process comprises the following steps: preparing semicoke into semicoke 
powder of which the particle size is less than 3 millimeters, and preparing quicklime into 
lime powder of which the particle size is less than 1 
millimeter; weighing the quicklime, and adding excessive water to sufficiently slake the 
lime; filtering the supernatant, and taking the underlayer slaked 
lime slurry, namely a binding agent; weighing the semicoke 
powder and the binding agent (the weight percents of the semicoke powder and the binding agent are respectively 70-80% and 20-30%), pouring the binding agent into the semicoke powder, sufficiently stirring, and evenly mixing; pressing the mixture with a roll-type forming 
machine to obtain spheroidal formed semicoke; and placing the pressed formed semicoke in a 
briquette carbonization tank, continuously introducing CO2 preheated to 40 DEG C through a 
heat exchanger into the 
carbonization tank via the tank bottom for about 7 hours, and determining the dropping strength of the formed semicoke. According to the invention, the reutilization of the semicoke powder is realized, a powder 
coal forming technology and 
calcium carbide production are combined, the 
calcium carbide production process is simplified, and the production cost is lowered.
