Manganese nodules on the seabed are an important breeding ground for deepsea octopods in some regions of the Pacific Ocean. As reported by a GermanAmerican team of scientists in the journal Current Biology, the octopods deposit their eggs onto sponges that only grow locally on manganese nodules.

الحصول على السعرPolymetallic (manganese) nodules are rocky lumps (Figure 3) that vary from between five and ten centimetres in size. They form from iron and manganese hydroxides at water depths between 4 .
الحصول على السعرA mechanism for mining manganese nodules from the deep sea bottom including a number of dredge nets tied to a long endless rope suspended from both sides of a ship, the rope falling from one side of the ship to the deep seabottom with apparatus being provided to pull the rope therefrom to another side of the ship, whereby manganese nodules are continuously collected by the dredge nets.
الحصول على السعرDuring the 1980s, more than 650 million was invested in mining technology for extracting manganese nodules. The nodules held significant quantities of nickel and copper.
الحصول على السعرManganese Nodules Nodules of economic interests have been found in four areas: the ClarionClipperton Fracture Zone in northcentral Pacific Ocean, the Penrhyn Basin in southcentral Pacific Ocean, the Peru Basin in the southeast Pacific, and the centre of the north Indian Ocean.
الحصول على السعرThe nodules are typically found in a shallow layer of silt and would be "vacuumed" up. Most plans involve grinding up the nodules, mixing them with sea water, and sucking them up through pipes to a ship waiting on the surface. What impact deepsea mining have on .
الحصول على السعرManganese nodules are another type of mineral deposit, different from the hydrothermal deposits recently testmined by the Japanese. Typically, golfball to baseball size, nodules sit atop sediment on the abyssal plains of the global ocean.
الحصول على السعرManganese nodules are a potential source of copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese and rare earth elements—metals used in electrical systems and for electronics like .
الحصول على السعرA conference "Ferromanganese deposits on the Ocean Floor", was organized at the Lamont – Doherty Geological Observatory in January 1972, sponsored by International Decade of Ocean Exploration that gave a considerable stimulus to the development of an incipient nodule mining industry.

الحصول على السعرMinerals Mining (DSMM) by virtue of the great depths at which these minerals occur. By definition, Deep Sea Minerals (DSM) occur in the deeperwater (400 – 6,000 meters) where minerals are deposited by natural processes as ironmanganese (or ferromanganese) nodules and crusts, massive sulfide, phosphates, and metalliferous sediments.
الحصول على السعرOML has an outstanding team to move this project forward, including engineers with experience in pilot testing of deep sea mining systems and extraction processes for manganese nodules from programs conducted in the 1970s.
الحصول على السعرMore than one million square kilometers of the abyssal Pacific seafloor have been identified for possible seafloor nodule mining. Manganese nodules are a potential source of copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese and rare earth elements—metals used in electrical systems and for electronics like rechargeable batteries and touch screens.
