Abyssal mineral resource exploitation is receiving increasing attention in many countries.
The plume issues caused by deep-sea mining must be studied before commercial mining …

Over the past decade, deep-sea mining (DSM) has received renewed interest due to scarcity
of raw materials. Deep-sea mining has been spurred by the need for critical resources to …

Recent studies reveal that bioapatite and Fesingle bond Mn micro-nodules are
predominantly hosts of rare earth elements and yttrium (REYs) in bulk deep-sea sediments …

The rare earth elements (REE), comprising 15 elements of the lanthanum series (La-Lu)
together with yttrium (Y) and scandium (Sc), have become of particular interest because of …

Flocculation between inorganic sediment, salt ions and microscopic organic matter present
in the marine environment might play an important role in the dynamics of turbidity currents …

The interest in polymetallic nodule mining has considerably increased in the last few
decades. This has been largely driven by population growth and the need to move towards …

Deep‐sea sediments enriched in rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) are attracting
scientific and exploration attention as a new REY resource. In the Clarion‐Clipperton …

This article discusses whether or to what extent flocculation plays a role in the saline deep-
sea environment and whether sediment plumes generated by deep-sea mining activities are …

Deep-sea sediments with total rare-earth elements and yttrium (ΣREY) concentrations
exceeding 400 ppm, which are termed REY-rich mud, are widely distributed in the world …

This study aimed to examine particle and surface characteristics of sediments from three
sampling areas‒the industrial marine area in Aydinli Bay, the Marmara Sea, and the river …
