An experimental study of the process of the dissolution of diamonds in a sulfur-containing iron melt with different contents of sulfur (10,  15, 20, 25, 30 wt. %) at 3,5 GPa and 1400°C has been carried out.  The obtained results indicate that under the realized conditions, the  plane-faced diamond crystals of octahedral habit are transformed  into a curved octahedroid shape with morphological characteristics similar to  natural diamonds from kimberlites. It has been concluded that metal- sulphide melts, given their relatively low melting points, could affect the  safety of diamonds in the mantle. The presence of sulfur reduces  the solubility of carbon and tends to zero in the Fe-S melt compositions  close to eutectic (25 and 30 wt. %). That is, the presence of sulfur has a favorable effect on the stability of diamonds.

The first results on the dissolution of flat-faced diamond crystals of octahedral habit in Fe-Ni-S melt at 3,5 GPa and 1400 С are presented. It has been established that as a result of dissolution, flat-faceted diamond crystals are transformed into curve-faced individuals with morphological features similar to kimberlite diamonds. It is concluded that similar forms of natural diamonds could have been formed in reducing domains of the Earths mantle before entering the kimberlite magma.

A simulation apparatus for the experimental study of the methods of control of batch reactors is devised. In this apparatus, the production of heat by an exothermic reaction is replaced by electric heating controlled by a computer in a closed loop; the reactor is cooled with an external cooler whose dynamic properties can be varied while keeping the heat exchange area constant. The effect of the cooler geometry on its dynamic properties is investigated and the effect of the cooler inertia on the stability and safety of the on-off temperature control in the unstable pseudostationary state is examined.

Given the stability of the bond between a mercaptide ligand and various redox-active metals, it is of interest that Nature has evolved significant metalloenzymatic processes that involve key interactions of sulfur-containing functionalities with metals such as Ni, Co, Cu, and Fe. From a chemical perspective, it is striking that these metals can function as robust biocatalysts in vivo, even though they are often "poisoned" as catalysts in vitro through formation of refractory metal thiolates. Insight into the nature of this chemical discrepancy is under study in order to open new procedures in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry.
