Manganese (Polymetallic) Nodules of the Abyss. Manganese nodules form on vast deep-water abyssal plains and comprise primarily of manganese and iron, though significant amounts of other metals are also found in these structures (Figures 2A,B).Nodules are potato-like in shape, 4–10 cm in diameter, and are thought to form in a process that …

9 Abstract: For a century, the discovery of ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) nodules in the World Ocean 10 was universally and indisputably credited to the Challenger circum-global oceanographic 11 expedition of 1872-1876, during which the first manganese nodules and crusts were dredged up 12 from the sea floor in February-March 1873. A century later, a ...

The existence of manganese (Mn) nodules (Figure 1) has been known since the late 1800s when they were collected during the Challenger expedition of 1873–1876. However, it was not until after WWII that nodules were further studied in detail for their ability to adsorb metals from seawater. Many of the early studies did not distinguish Mn …

Formation. Polymetallic nodules are rounded accretions of manganese and iron hydroxides that cover vast areas of the seafloor, but are most abundant on abyssal plains at water depths of 4000-6500 metres.

Polymetallic nodules, also called manganese nodules, contain four essential battery metals: cobalt, nickel, copper and manganese, in a single ore. Formed over millions of years by precipitating metals from seawater and sediment pore water, these nodules lie unattached to the abyssal seafloor. Unlike land ores, nodules do not contain toxic ...
