Abstract
The invention provides methods and systems for producing large size diamonds. The methods include using carbon containing gases and supplementary gases to form reaction zones that are suitable for diamonds to grow; controlling the temperatures that are suitable for diamonds to grow; and keeping the small size seeds in motion in the reaction zones to form large size diamonds. The method provides controlling the high temperature endurable small size seeds at suitable temperatures for diamonds to grow and keep them in motion in the reaction zones. The invention also provides systems that allow all the surfaces of the high temperature endurable small size seeds continually extend to form diamonds, then to form large size diamonds. The invention provides a large-scale, low cost production of large size diamonds.
Claims8
A method of producing large size diamonds, the method comprising:
- Providing a spouted bed reactor into which carbon containing gases and supplementary gases are introduced in concentrations effective for diamonds to grow;
- using microwaves to create at least a first plasma reaction zone and at least a second plasma reaction zone within the reactor;
- and
- adding high temperature endurable small size seeds to one or more of the first plasma reaction zone and the second plasma reaction zone, wherein the spouted bed sets the small size seeds in motion repeatedly through the first plasma reaction zone and the second plasma reaction zone at temperatures that are effective for the small size seeds to form larger size diamonds.
