Thorium-234 as a tracer for deep-sea mining sediment plume deposition [PDF]

Nature Communications
Deep-sea mining for polymetallic nodules is currently exploratory, but commercial-scale operations require indicators of environmental change to support regulatory thresholds and inform adaptive management.

Beyond the plains: deep-sea mining of polymetallic nodules on and around seamounts

Frontiers in Marine Science
Deep-sea mining management, scientific research, and public discourse have largely focused on polymetallic nodule extraction from abyssal plains. However, there is growing commercial interest in nodules on and around seamounts, with exploration and ...

Review and Integrated Framework for Deep-Sea Mineral Resources, Ecological Influence, and Future Development. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
As global industrialization advances and land‐based resources decline, deep‐sea resource development is becoming increasingly vital. The deep sea is rich in minerals such as polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulfides, and cobalt‐rich crust. However, deep‐sea ecosystems and geochemical cycles can be severely impacted by extensive mineral mining.

Studies on Analysis Conditions of Specific Surface Area of Polymetallic Nodules

Yankuang ceshi, 2021
BACKGROUND Polymetallic nodules are predominant in deep sea sedimentary mineral resources due to the enrichment of many critical metals. Polymetallic nodules are loose and porous, which is the critical material feature that contributes the adsorption of ...

Nano-mineralogy and growth environment of Fe-Mn polymetallic crusts and nodules from the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Fe-Mn polymetallic crusts and nodules from the South China Sea (SCS) consist of submarine ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) oxide precipitates, and represent important marine mineral resource with substantial economic and scientific research value. Previous studies
