How to Mine the Diamond From Air Polution?

The world has recently been overwhelmed by innovations from China. The country that has the largest population of humans has succeeded in making machines capable of converting air pollutants into springs. It's amazing. That diamond can be sold. But this diamond is certainly not the same as the original diamond mined.

This idea arises because scientists in China are trying to find ways to reduce the amount of smoke haze produced. But they also study the smoke haze in the atmosphere. Finally came the idea to compress the smoke haze and made a diamond.

The solution came from a great artist Dan Roosegaarde. He designed a tower that serves as a smoke haze smoker. The machine works by collecting particles in the air that can hurt the lungs and turn them into diamonds. Remarkable. The machine was first installed in the Beijing garden to see if they could create a clean air bag for everyone to enjoy.

Some of the world's major cities, such as Beijing, Jakarta, Kolkata, Skopje, and others, seem to be competing at the level of their smoke haze. These cities continue to generate pollution in the air. The city of Beijing has a very bad air so people have to wear masks to protect their health. From there came the idea to compress air pollution into diamonds.

But are the diamonds produced by the machine the same as the mined diamonds in the earth? Of course not. Although carbon-based, diamonds from the air are more fragile. Its instant formation can not produce diamonds with super powers. The diamond from China was also black. Unique but not strong.

The original diamond is the hardest stone on earth. If your diamond is broken or split when it gets a slight collision, then surely the diamond you have is a fake or artificial diamond. Diamonds not only have clear color, but also come in different colors. Diamonds are expensive because they are so rare and beautiful.

Before China made machines that turned pollution into diamonds, previously diamonds had also been made in the laboratory. This diamond does not have the same denser structure as the original diamond. But the shape is very similar. But the diamond has a fragile structure. The diamond could have been crushed. That's because the carbon atoms in artificial diamonds are not as close as the carbon atoms in the original diamond.

The diamonds mined from air pollution are a big improvement. It can reduce air pollution. But do not cheat people to buy fake diamonds for a great price.
