Thermodynamics of the graphite to diamond transformation

Crystallization

After supersaturation of the solution→Start to diamond crystallize (⸪ diamond has lower solubility than graphite).

Level of Supersaturation

The solution is supersaturated when the actual solute concentration (C) is higher than the solute solubility (Csat).

The Kinetics of graphite to diamond transformation

Arrhenius equation (reaction rates)
k=Ae^(〖-E〗_a/RT)
k increases about 2–10 times when the temperature increases 10°C.

The driving force for diamond growth

Arrhenius equation (reaction rates)
k=Ae^(〖-E〗_a/RT)
k increases about 2–10 times when the temperature increases 10°C.

Development of HPHT machine in InCent-LGD, IITM

High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) is one of the primary methods used to grow diamonds in a lab. Carbon is subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures and is meant to replicate the extreme conditions of deep earth where natural diamonds form.

Typically 55,000 to 60,000 atm of pressure are used to grow a diamond by the HPHT method. 55,000 atm =600 African elephants resting in the palm of your hand.
