摘要:
Embodiments of the invention relate to thermally-stable polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”), and methods of fabricating such PDCs. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a substrate and a pre-sintered polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) table bonded to the substrate. The pre-sintered PCD table includes bonded diamond grains defining a plurality of interstitial regions. The pre-sintered PCD table further including a first region remote from the substrate including a nonmetallic catalyst and a metallic catalyst each of which is disposed interstitially between the bonded diamond grains thereof, and a second region bonded to the substrate including a metallic-catalyst infiltrant disposed interstitially between the bonded diamond grains thereof. A nonplanar boundary is located between the first region and the second region.

The present invention relates to a porous polycrystalline diamond structure that may be employed as a separation device in a separation apparatus for separating at least one reaction product of a chemical reaction, as a stationary phase support and/or stationary phase in chromatography or separation apparatuses, or as a chemical reaction apparatus for conducting a chemical reaction therein. A separation device includes a body of sintered diamond particles. The body includes a proximal inlet end, a distal outlet end, and an intermediate region therebetween. The body further includes a plurality of at least partially interconnected pores that extend between the proximal inlet end and the distal outlet end. The at least partially interconnected pores are capable of communicating fluid from the proximal inlet end to the distal outlet end. Separation apparatuses that utilize the separation device, such as gas or liquid chromatography apparatuses, and chemical reaction apparatuses are also disclosed.

Methods of fabricating polycrystalline diamond elements and compacts using sp2-carbon-containing particles are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of fabricating a polycrystalline diamond element includes mixing a plurality of sp2-carbon-containing particles and a plurality of diamond particles to form a mixture. An amount of the plurality of sp2-carbon-containing particles present in the mixture is effective to increase a thermal stability of the polycrystalline diamond element formed at least partially from the mixture. The method further includes sintering the mixture in the presence of a catalyst material to form the polycrystalline diamond element.

Embodiments disclosed herein include graphitic stationary phase materials functionalized through a gas-phase functionalization reaction, as well as and methods for making and using these materials, including the use of these materials in separation technologies such as, but not limited to, chromatography and solid phase extraction. In an embodiment, a functionalized graphitic stationary phase material may be prepared from high surface area porous graphitic carbon and a radical forming volatilized functionalizing agent. The radical forming volatilized functionalizing agent produces an intermediate that forms a covalent bond with the surface of the porous graphitic material and imparts desired properties to the surface of the graphitic carbon.
