Abstract:
The molecular composition of volatile compounds belonging to the impurity subsystem of detonation nanodiamond particles has been analyzed. It is established that the main volatile impurities are water, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. In the course of annealing, the concentration of these volatile impurities exhibits a significant decrease, the sample weight loss reaching up to 20%. This process is accompanied by both endo- and exothermal effects.
