FIELD: process engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to processes used in operation at high pressure and modifying substances physically. Proposed method comprises placing diamond in reaction cell in pressure transmitting medium, increasing pressure in reaction chamber and it cooling. Note here that thermal treatment is carried out at temperature increase rate of 10-50°C/s and at 2000-2350°C by passing electric current via heater in cell from programmed power supply source with due allowance for temperature relaxation in said cell in heating. For this, note also that temperature relaxation constant is defined. Said cell is cooled after heating by switching off power supply in forming short diamond heating pulse in temperature range of over 2000°C with diamond total stay time smaller than 30 seconds. Allowance for temperature relaxation in said cell in heating for heating rate Vt and pre-definition of cell temperature relaxation constant τ is made by setting in said programmable power source the maximum temperature of heating to τVT above maximum treatment temperature of 2000-2350°C.
EFFECT: changing colour of low-grate natural diamond without notable graphitisation, high-quality gem diamonds.
