According to foreign media reports, Dale Vince, the founder of Ecotricity, a British green energy company, recently announced that he has successfully developed a technology to use atmospheric carbon dioxide to make diamonds, creating "the world's first zero-pollution diamond
.
" Vince said, "Making diamonds from the sky, from the air we breathe is a magical and evocative idea-this is modern alchemy
.
We don't need to mine the land to get diamonds, we can mine the sky
.
" Vince predicts that his new company, Sky Diamonds, will be able to produce 200 carats of diamonds per month, and that next year it will expand to 1,000 carats per month
.
It is reported that the process of manufacturing this air diamond can directly remove carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thereby helping to improve the air
.
Moreover, the structure of this air diamond is the same as that of natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years
.
During the manufacturing process, first put the "diamond seed" in a sealed container, which is filled with carbon-rich methane gas, and then the container will be heated to 800 degrees Celsius
.
During this period, the carbon element will gradually combine with the "diamond seed" to form a diamond in a few weeks
.
Both physically and chemically, it is exactly the same as the diamond mined from the ground
.
Studies have shown that mining a carat of traditional diamonds requires the transfer of 1,000 tons of rock and soil, consumes 3,890 liters of water, and produces 108 kg of carbon dioxide
.
The carbon dioxide used by "air diamonds" will be directly extracted from the air, and the hydrogen needed to produce methane will also be produced by decomposing rainwater by electrolyzers driven by renewable energy
.
Vince said he has not yet decided on the price of this diamond
.
However, these diamonds have been certified by the International Gemological Society
.
