Hydrogenetic and Diagenetic Controls on the Specific Surface Area of Polymetallic Nodules in Deep Ocean Basins
Polymetallic nodules (nodules) are a predominant deep-sea mineral resource due to theirenrichment with critical metals, such as Co, Ni, and Cu, and rare earth elements (REEs). The loose and porous nature of nodules contributes to their adsorption and enrichment in trace metals from seawater and pore...
