Contrary to popular belief, high-purity graphite does not readily burn, even at elevated temperatures. For this reason, it is used in nuclear reactors and for high-temperature crucibles for melting metals. At very high temperatures and pressures (roughly 2000 °C and 5 GPa), it can be transformed into diamond. Natural and crystalline graphites are not often used in pure form as structural materials due to their shear-planes, brittleness and inconsistent mechanical properties. In its

It is also found as fossil fuels in coal and petroleum and gas. Native forms of carbon are mcuh rarer, requiring pressure to form. Pure carbon exists as graphite or diamond. The deeper parts of Earth such as the mantle are very hard to discover. Few samples are known, in the form of uplifed rocks, or xenoliths. Even fewer remain in the same state they were in where the pressure and temperature is

Such CO can be converted to methane and from there to isotopically pure synthetic diamonds. Isotopically enriched diamonds have been synthesized by application of chemical vapor deposition followed by high pressure. The C isotopically pure, (or in practice 15-fold enrichment of isotopic number, 12 over 13 for carbon) diamond gives a 50% higher thermal conductivity than the already high value of 900-2000 W/(m·K) for a normal diamond, which contains the natural isotopic mixture of

The predicted hardness for pure beta carbon nitride(4.27 ± .15 Mbar) is similar to that of diamond (4.43 Mbar), giving it the potential to be useful in the same fields as diamond. Beta carbon nitride Beta carbon nitride (β-CN) is a superhard material predicted to be harder than diamond. The material was first proposed in 1985 by Marvin Cohen and Amy Liu. Examining the nature of crystalline bonds they theorised that carbon and nitrogen atoms could form a particularly short and strong bond in a

Isotopically pure diamonds have been manufactured from either the more common carbon isotope with mass number 12 (abbreviated as C) or the less common C isotope. Compared to natural diamonds that are composed of a mixture of C and C isotopes, isotopically pure diamonds possess improved characteristics such as increased thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity of diamonds is at a minimum when C and C are in a ratio of 1:1 and reaches a maximum when the composition is 100%

Under super high pressures carbon may take on a higher coordination number than the 4 found in sp compounds like diamond, or the 3 found in carbonates. Perhaps carbon can substitute into silicates, or form a silicon oxycarbide. Carbides may be possible. At 15 Gpa graphite changes

Precious metals appear prominently in such hierarchies, but as they grow, gems and semi-precious materials may be introduced as part of the system. The sequences can provide interesting examples of the arbitrariness of semiotic signs. Jubilees have a hierarchy of years: silver (25 years), ruby (40 years), golden (50 years), diamond (60 years), and platinum (70 years). Wedding anniversaries extend the jubilee hierarchy with various sequences of substances filling in many of the gaps between the same major

Further studies have demonstrated that other substrates, such as glass or polymer, also work. This work was subsequently extended to convert h-BN into phase-pure c-BN. Q-carbon is non-crystalline, and while it has mixed sp and sp bonding, it is mostly sp, which leads to its unique hardness and its electrical, optical and magnetic properties. Q-carbon is harder than diamond by 10–20% because carbon is metallic in the molten state and gets closely packed, with a bond length smaller than that in diamond.

Organic carbon compounds are far more numerous than inorganic carbon compounds. In general bonds of carbon with other elements are covalent bonds. Carbon is tetravalent but carbon free radicals and carbenes occur as short-lived intermediates. Ions of carbon are carbocations and carbanions are also short-lived. An important carbon property is catenation as the ability to form long carbon chains and rings. The known inorganic chemistry of the allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite, and the

Below 200 km deep, carbon dioxide is reduced by ferrous iron (Fe), forming diamond, and ferric iron (Fe). Even deeper pressure induced disproportionation of iron minerals produces more ferric iron, and metallic iron. The metallic iron combines with carbon to form the

The flaws that do affect brilliancy make it hard to sell a stone at any price. The reason for the formation of carbon flaws is largely unknown. It is theorized that, though the material was exposed to the same conditions of heat and pressure

The binder loses volume in the process, causing voids to form; the addition of aggregate reduces this problem, but does not eliminate it. Third, the voids are gradually filled by forcing a carbon-forming gas such as acetylene through the material at a high temperature, over the course of several days. This long heat treatment process also allows the carbon to form into larger graphite crystals, and is the major reason for the material's high cost.

Bullion metals may be cast into ingots or minted into coins. The defining attribute of bullion is that it is valued by its mass and purity rather than by a face value as money. The level of purity varies from issue to issue. "Three nines" (99.9%) purity is common.

Oxidation of atomic carbon gives carbon monoxide, whereas reduction gives λ-methane.

It is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is emitted in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot. Black carbon causes human morbidity and premature mortality. In climatology, black carbon is a climate forcing agent. Black carbon warms the Earth by absorbing sunlight and heating the atmosphere and by reducing albedo when deposited on snow and ice (direct effects) and indirectly by interaction with clouds,
