Abstract

The paper considers the formation of carbon nanoparticles under hydrodynamic cavitation in natural and laboratory conditions. The sizes and structures of particles synthesized from carbon-bearing liquids of different composition are compared. Such carbon nanoforms as nanodiamonds, complex fullerenes, and FCC-carbon have been separated and studied using electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The possibility of doping of synthesized nanodiamonds with small amounts of nitrogen and silicon was studied using photoluminescence spectra. The obtained results can be applied to the processes of mineral formation during the migration of mantle fluids.
