Abstract

The crucial role of carbonate constituents in diamond genesis has warranted by the results of physico-chemical experimental investigations of diamond-parental systems under pressures typical for depths of the upper mantle, transition zone and lower mantle. Currently available evidence to the effects of congruent melting of carbonate minerals and the peculiarities of melting of deep-seated multicomponent carbonate systems is of critical importance for the diamond-producing processes. The relationships between melting temperatures of multicomponent carbonate systems and geothermal temperatures make it possible to produce carbonatitic melts within the deep Earth’s interior. Effects of a complete liquid miscibility of components of silicate-carbonate melts and the reasonably high values of solubility of diamond and metastable graphite in them are the governing factors in initiation of the principal physico-chemical mechanisms of genesis of diamonds and associated phases. Diamond-forming processes are also characterized by extraordinary kinetic effect of the joint crystallization of diamond and metastable graphite.
