In smelting process, there is no restrictions on the compositions and properties of the feed ore or materials compared to full hydrometallurgical one. This work explained the treatment of the spent Ni-Cd battery and the spent catalyst in reduction smelting...

... ABSTRACT : This paper compares the economic feasibility of two deep seabed mining deposits, manganese nodules and cobalt crust using a new quantitative indicator, the cobalt/nickel price ratio, that verifies the equality between the net present value (NPV) of the two resources. NPV is based...

... concentration document an average oxygen penetration depth of 1.5 to 2 m. The manganese nodules are mainly of oxic diagenetic origin. Nodule abundances predominantly range between 10 and 30 kg m-2 wet weight and change frequently within tens to hundreds of meters. In general, the nodule abundance in terms...

... ABSTRACT: The Federal Institute for Geosciences and natural Resources (BGR) has been exploring manganese nodules in a 75.000 km2 area in the central equatorial Pacific since 2006. The economic potential of the nodules results from their high and rather uniform Cu+Ni+Co content. Exploration...
