Selective inhibition of the oxidation of nanodiamonds for their cleaning

The effect of selective inhibition of nanodiamond oxidation upon heating of detonation carbon in air is used to extract nanodiamonds from the detonation products. The methods for cleaning nanodiamonds from nondiamond carbon modifications are described depending on the synthesis conditions. (C) 2004 MAIK Nauka / Interperiodica.
