Manganese analysis from equatorial Pacific sediments

Analysis of manganese in sediments of the equatorial Pacific

Chemical analyses of manganese nodules retrieved during the BENTHIFACE expedition (R/V Melville)

Manganese nodules retrieved during the BENTHIFACE expedition (R/V Melville) from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been analysed using X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) after being subject to dessication and being heated at 1100°C

Chemical composition of Pacific manganese nodules retrieved during a full-scale CLB system test

Manganese nodules were retrieved by a Continuous Line Bucket (CLB) manganese nodule retrieval system in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ). This system was operating from the Kyokuyo Maru experimental ship. Selected samples were chemically analysed using Atomic absorption spectrophotometr

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from the Sea Scope, 1972 expedition cruise stations

In 1972, the Sea Scope Expedition was commissioned by Hughes Tool Company and carried out by Global Marine Development, Inc. The object was to gather detailed information on manganese nodules, including distribution, metallic content, methods of recovery, and sea floor bathymetry in noduliferous areas. Five of six planned cruise legs were successful. The resulting report is divided into three sections

Chemical composition of selected manganese nodules from northeastern equatorial Pacific using X-ray emission spectrometry

Selected manganese nodules from the DEEPSONDE and BENTHIFACE expeditions conducted by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) in the northeastern equatorial Pacific have been analysed using X-ray emission spectrometry
