Chemical Compositon of ferromanganese Nodules from the Southern Ocean.

Abstract

Ferromanganese nodules from the Southern Ocean, south-west of Cape Leeuwin, W.A., were chemically analysed for the elements Al, Ag, Ba, Co, Cu, Cr, Cd, Ca, Fe, K, Mo, Ni, Pb, Mg, Mn, Sr, Ti, V and Zn. Preliminary attempts were made to compare the analyses with nodules from other fields in the South Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
