description IntroductionMarine ferromanganese crusts are potentially important metal resources.The deep-ocean research and survey ships often need to carry out rapid chemical element component analysis of mineral resources, so as to plan for the geological resource exploration mission.MethodsThe laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy can obtain the spectrum of chemical elements by the plasma excited by high-energy laser irradiation on the surface of the sample. A laser induced breakdown spectroscopy optical system for the detection of deepocean ferromanganese crusts is designed and built, which can meet the requirements of near-insitu chemical component detection of deep-ocean mineral resources on ocean-going survey ships.ResultsHyperspectral data of Fe-Mn crusts are carried out by the Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system during a deep-sea exploration mission at a depth of 2,490 m in the South China Sea. The experimental parameters of laser energy and spectral acquisition delay are optimized to improve the spectral measurement accuracy. Based on the calibration-free method, the significant spectral features of the chemical elements Fe and Mn were obtained through proper alignment with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) chemical element spectral library.DiscussionThe LIBS instrument can be placed on board long-range survey vessels in the future to provide a fast, convenient, accurate, and economical detection method for deep-ocean resource exploration.
