Diamond applications, How much do you know I

2018-01-12

Mention the usage of diamonds, we will think of it should be done abrasive. In fact, its application is very extensive, as follows:

1. Diamond membrane used in water treatment technology
Use the electrode to remove harmful organic substances in the water, completely without any chemicals. This method effectively avoids the undesirable substances in drinking water, such as pesticide or drug residues. Experts think this is a promising method of innovation.

2. Diamonds are expected to be the strongest washing powder ever
In addition to decorative embellishment, the diamond maybe soon have another skill - washing clothes, British scientists have found that the washing powder by adding some diamond particles (a diamond nanoparticles’ diameter is about your hair diameter of ten One ten thousandth), the decontamination effect will enhance a few times than before, the improved washing powder on stubborn stains, especially grease very effective. Researchers believe the discovery helps to solve the annoying grease problem when washing clothes.

3. Diamond into the global water jet cutting field
As water knife cutting applications have seen significant growth, users are demanding higher device productivity and faster component replacement times, it driving the growth of diamond water knife. High pressure water cutting technology is widely used in industry, it can be used for cutting chocolate, steel, paper, plastic, wood, granite and other materials. The growth of its application stems from its advantages of fast, flexible, accurate, green, cost-effective. Compared with sapphire, diamond blade life can be extended 15 to 20 times.

4. Fire detection system using diamond UV sensor
Diamond UV sensor and the difference between traditional sensors:
<1> Traditional sensors alarms by detecting the heat and smoke on early stage of  fire. Unlike conventional sensors, the diamond UV sensor quickly detects a fire before it reaches heat and smoke's dangerous stages.
<2> Diamond UV sensor detection system consists of a sensor and an alarm device, the system's UV light sensor uses a artificial diamond film window material specially developed by NIMS.

<3> This new detection system not only has more rapid response time than traditional sensors, but also has advantages in energy consumption and size.

<4> The diamond UV sensor only needs a 9V dry battery can run, and the long life of diamond UV light-sensitive devices, low energy consumption. The traditional fire detection system using Vacuum tube photoelectric battery, the normal operation requires a voltage of 300V or more, so the device consumes a lot of energy.

<5> Traditional sensors have large size and easily damaged, on the contrary, New diamond UV sensor compact structure (8 × 5mm), and have good impact resistance.
