Deep-ocean polymetallic nodules (also known as manganese nodules) are composed of iron and manganese oxides that accrete around a nucleus on the vast …
Polymetallic nodules, also called manganese nodules, are mineral 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 a potential economic interest. Depending on their composition and autorial …
Manganese nodules are defined by Hein (2016, p. 408) as follows: 36 "Manganese and iron oxide mineral deposits formed on or just below the sediment-covered 37 surface of the deep-ocean seabed by accretion (precipitation) of oxide layers around a 38 nucleus, thereby forming nodules of various shapes and sizes and which contain minor but
Manganese nodules in the deep sea have been known since the British Challenger expedition from 1872 to 1876. For a long time, however, they were only regarded as a curiosity. In the 1960s and 1970s, they were first …

Polymetallic Nodules: Polymetallic nodules (PMN) are also known as manganese nodules. They are potato-shaped, largely porous nodules found in abundance carpeting the sea floor in the deep sea of the world oceans. Besides manganese and iron, they contain nickel, copper, cobalt, lead, molybdenum, cadmium, vanadium, titanium. Of these …

2.1 General Classification. Polymetallic manganese nodules consist of concentrically banded zones of micro-layers around a nucleus. The latter can be composed of indurated sediments, rock particles, biogenetic fragments, or micro-nodules (von Stackelberg and Beiersdorf 1987).Individual layers are characterized by different …
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. …

Cobalt, nickel and manganese are considered to be amongst the strategic metals that will play a crucial role in this change. These three metals, plus copper, are found in one promising type of high tonnage mineral deposit: the polymetallic nodules. The nodules are known to occur on the vast abyssal plains at water depths over 4,000 m.
La composition chimique des nodules varie en fonction du type de minerai de manganèse et de la taille et les caractéristiques de l'âme. Ceux de plus grand intérêt économique contiennent manganèse (27-30%), nickel (1,25 à 1,5%), cuivre (1-1,4%) et cobalt (0,2 à 0,25%). D'autres constituants peuvent être fer (6%), silicium (5%) et ...
Mn nodules typically have three to six times more Mn than Fe (Table 1 ), in contrast to Fe-Mn crusts, another type of deep-ocean mineral deposit (see entry on " …
Manganese oxides are ubiquitous marine minerals which are redox sensitive. As major components of manganese nodules found on the ocean floor, birnessite and buserite have been known to be two ...
For a century, the discovery of ferromanganese (Fe–Mn) nodules in the World Ocean was universally and indisputably credited to the Challenger circum-global oceanographic expedition of 1872–1876, during which the first manganese nodules and crusts were dredged up from the sea floor in February–March 1873. A century later, a …
Take the abyssal plains in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a geological submarine fracture zone of the Pacific Ocean. Lying unattached on the ocean floor are billions of tonnes of polymetallic nodules – potato-sized deposits containing rich concentrations of cobalt, nickel, copper and manganese – which were discovered in the …
Marine manganese nodules, those strange, fist-sized metallic clusters that cover about 30% of the ocean floor, have been known for over a hundred years. At first glance they appear very fresh; yet, according to paleontological and radiometric dating methods, the nodules are supposedly multi-millions of years old, the result of extremely …
Investigations were conducted to determine the hydrothermal transformations of synthetic birnessite exchanged with different metal ions. Autoclaving in a Teflon-lined stainless steel pressure vessel at 155°C for 24 hr of Mg-, Ca-, La-, and Co-saturated birnessite yielded manganese minerals having 10-Å X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) …
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. The core may be microscopically small and is sometimes completely transformed into manganese minerals by crystallization.When visible to the naked eye, it can be a small …
Phylogenetic studies of iron-manganese nodules on the seafloor have shown that the associated microbial communities are significantly distinct from those in surrounding sediments and that the interior communities are different from the exteriors of these nodules, suggesting that more diversity on the interior could indicate Mn cycling (Tully ...

Manganese removes oxygen and sulfur when iron ore (an iron and oxygen compound) is converted into iron. It also is an essential alloy that helps convert iron into steel. As an alloy, it decreases the brittleness of steel and imparts strength. The amount of manganese used per ton of steel is rather small, ranging from 6 to 9 kilograms.
Hydrogenic and diagenetic nodules grow approximately 1-5 mm and 250 mm per million years, respectively (Hein 2016). The average size of concretions of hydrogenic origin varies between 0.5 and 8 cm ...
A conservative estimate is that 21.1 billion dry tons of polymetallic nodules exist in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) manganese nodule field, the largest in area and tonnage of the known global nodule fields. Based on that estimate, tonnages of many critical metals in the CCZ nodules are greater than those found in global terrestrial …
Manganese nodules are authigenic deposits composed principally of manganese oxides enriched in Fe and Co, Ni, and Cu. They occur in all the world's oceans but are generally found in areas where sediment accumulation rate is slow. Indeed, Mn nodules grow slowly—millimeters to 10s of millimeters per million years.
