Actually carbon in any form can be made to burn. Diamond burns at 1000 degrees. But yes, there is it in the ash. No organics, carbon is there.

read my post again, then google "combustible substance (material).

Once again, burning a bodyCANNOT leave any carbon behind - the laws of chemistry.

 
Комбинатор:

They seem to have certificates, patents etc. etc. Yeah, and it sounds pretty plausible.

They have a yield of 1.5-2.5 kilograms of ash from the body, the coffin probably goes there as well.

1-5%, that's 15-50 grams of carbon.

1 carat is 0.2 grams.

so theoretically you could make a diamond 75-250 carats.

That's a very giant diamond, you can't get that kind of thing.

So it is possible to scrape together some carbon, turn it into graphite, make a dozen large diamonds from the body, cut them and sell them to relatives.

But then again, I am tormented by doubts: why bother with this labor-intensive process if you can get ready-made graphite, because it is impossible to prove anything.

This is why the company is in Switzerland and not in Russia ))) and why this business will not take off in Russia

According to the laws of chemistry C+O2=CO2

So if you burn it well, there will be nothing left except salts, oxides and metals from prostheses

If you 'burn well', everything burns. Water burns in fluorine, metals burn, even inert ones like gold, platinum, tantalum etc.

That's not the question. In the normal cremation of a body, pure carbon remains. Not much, but there is

 

If you just burn organics, there won't be any carbon in solid form or as a compound - it will escape with the carbon dioxide.

High-temperature cremation, and possibly oxygen-free cremation, is quite another matter. Then the organics will really decompose into simple molecules and the carbon will precipitate as charcoal.

But there is the question of separating the carbon from the other mineral junk. One could burn and capture the carbon dioxide and then decompose it. But you could also do the same with the body. There are definitely tricks to turning a corpse into diamonds.

The chemical composition of wood ash is calcium carbonate CaCO3 17%, magnesium carbonate MgCO3 4%
 
Дмитрий:
And carbon is not a combustible material, if anything - neither graphite, nor diamond, nor graphene burns....
Fairy tales for children about carbon not oxidising. And diamonds and coal burn just fine. If diamonds were mined as much as coal is mined, they would be used as fuel for boilers.

Children should first learn their lessons at school before posting on forums. First children need to remember their school chemistry course and learn the difference between flammable, non-flammable and non-combustible substances and materials.

Then children need to read posts on the forum carefully and only then "wunderkind".

P.S. Everything burns perfectly, including water, gold and platinum.

 

From the jeweller's story:

однажды в открытый тигель с расплавом отправилось колечко с бриллиантами, металл ушёл, а камушки ещё минуты 2-3 носились огоньками по поверхности

You can hardly heat the stove with them, but they burn.
