Simultaneous leaching of seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) from Loki's Castle on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR) and polymetallic nodules (PN) from Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of the Central Pacific Ocean was studied. Leaching tests were conducted using sulfuric acid and sodium chloride, at a temperature of 80 °C for 48 h under reflux.
May 20, 2016 · Manganese and iron oxide mineral deposits formed on or just below the sediment-covered surface of the deep-ocean seabed by accretion (precipitation) of oxide layers around a nucleus, thereby forming nodules of various shapes and sizes and which contain minor but significant amounts of nickel, copper, cobalt, lithium, molybdenum, zirconium, and rare earth elements.

Polymetallic nodules, also called manganese nodules, are rock concretions on the sea bottom formed of concentric layers of iron and manganese hydroxides around a core. As nodules can be found in vast quantities, and contain valuable metals, deposits have been identified as having economic interest.
Manganese nodules. Author Marcin Zych; courtesy of First discovered in 1873 during a cruise of the HMS Challenger, marine Manganese nodules (MNs) have increasingly courted the attention of the geological community.
The chemical composition of the nodules varies according to the kind of manganese minerals and the size and characteristics of the core. The PMNs of greatest economic interest contain manganese (27–30%), nickel (1.25–1.5%), copper (1–1.4%), and cobalt (0.2–0.25%) (Manganese Nodules, Wikipedia). The largest PMN deposit is in the Clarion ...

Manganese nodules, together with micronodules and encrustations, are ferromanganese oxide deposits which contain variable amounts of other elements (Table 1).They occur throughout the oceans, although the economically interesting varieties have a much more restricted distribution. Manganese nodules are spherical to oblate in shape and range in size from less than 1 cm in diameter up to 10 cm ...

Jun 13, 2014 · Despite the enormous variation in manganese nodule growth rates observed by secular scientists, Tyson reports, Researchers found telltale traces of this iron in a thin layer below the surface of the manganese nodules.7 They used the known rate of growth of the nodules to date that layer to connect it to the fate of a star that perished eons ago.

This paper reviews the state of the art in processing and extraction of ocean floor manganese nodules. It briefly reviews the mining sites where the abundant rich nodules occur and also discusses the metal distribution in nodules in view of economical processing and extraction of these metal values. The paper discloses in a detailed manner the physical and chemical characteristics of nodules ...
[PDF]A continuously growing demand for valuable non-ferrous metals and therefore an increase in their prices at the metal exchanges makes it necessary and profitable to investigate alternative metal resources. Polymetallic deep-sea nodules contain cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum and nickel, and are highly abundant on the sea floor. Developing a metallurgical process to recover the metal ...
Populations of microscopic marine organisms in ocean surface waters closely match their abundance in sediments on the ocean floor, even though it takes 10 to 50 years for an individual particle to sink to deep-ocean depths.

The Cook Islands (CIs) Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) encompasses 1,977,000 km2 and includes the Penrhyn and Samoa basins abyssal plains where manganese nodules flourish due to the availability of prolific nucleus material, slow sedimentation rates, and strong bottom currents. A group of CIs nodules was analyzed for mineralogical and chemical composition, which include many critical metals not ...
Mar 05, 2015 · Scientists recently discovered a large batch of manganese nodules on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.1 These metallic pellets provide strong evidence that most seafloor sediments were deposited rapidly, not slowly and gradually over millions of years. Are these nodules evidence of the Genesis Flood? Manganese nodules are found scattered on the ocean floor.
