First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of producing a synthetic diamond, the method comprising:
- (a) capturing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere in a carbon dioxide column;
(b) performing electrolysis of water to provide hydrogen in an electrolyzer;
(c) reacting the carbon dioxide obtained from step (a) with the hydrogen obtained from step (b) to produce methane, the reaction being performed using methanogens, in a reactor positioned downstream from the carbon dioxide column and the electrolyzer; and
(d) using the hydrogen obtained from step (b) and the methane obtained from step (c) to produce a synthetic diamond by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a CVD diamond machine positioned downstream from the electrolyzer and the reactor.

35. A method of producing a synthetic diamond, the method comprising:
-
(a) capturing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere; (b) performing electrolysis of water to provide hydrogen; (c) reacting the carbon dioxide obtained from step (a) with the hydrogen obtained from step (b) to produce methane, the reaction being performed using methanogens under conditions that allow the methanogens to create methane as part of a respiration process; and (d) using the hydrogen obtained from step (b) and the methane obtained from step (c) to produce a synthetic diamond by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). - View Dependent Claims (36)
