- Diamond is the
allotrope of carbon where the carbon atoms are arranged in an
isometric-hexoctahedral crystal lattice.
- Its hardness and
high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and
jewelry.
- It is the hardest
known naturally-occurring mineral.
- It is possible to
treat regular diamonds under a combination of high pressure and high
temperature to produce diamonds that are harder than the diamonds
used in hardness gauges.
- Alluvial diamonds is
the term used to describe diamonds that have been removed from the
primary source by natural erosive action over millions of years,
and eventually deposited in a new environment such as a river bed, an
ocean floor or a shoreline.
- Diamonds and other
precious and semi-precious gemstones are extracted from the earth via
three main types on mining.
- These diamond
extraction methods vary depending on how the minerals are deposited
within the earth, the stability of the material surrounding the desired
mineral, and the peripheral damage done to the surrounding enviroment.
- The principle
methods of extraction for diamonds are Artisanal Mining , Hard Rock
Mining ,Marine Mining, Open Pit Mining Placer Mining.
- Placer Diamond
Mining, also known as "sand bank mining" is used for extracting
diamonds and minerals from alluvial, eluvial, and or colluvial secondary
deposits.
- Poly-crystalline
diamond (poly-C) is expected to be an excellent packaging material for
biomedical and environmental MEMS devices.
- A poly-C thin film
packaging technology has been developed to explore the application of
this novel material on post-MEMS encapsulation packaging
process.
- Russia has a special
place in the world diamond industry as a major rough producer with a
significant cutting and polishing industry, skilled labour and
favourable conditions for manufacturing a wide range of high-quality
polished diamonds.
