Titre(s) : Deep-sea mining [Texte électronique] : resource potential, technical and environmental considerations / Rahul Sharma
Publication : Cham : Springer, copyright 2017
Description matérielle : 1 online resource : illustrations
Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
This comprehensive book contains contributions from specialists who provide a complete
status update along with outstanding issues encompassing different topics related
to deep-sea mining. Interest in exploration and exploitation of deep-sea minerals
is seeing a revival due to diminishing grades and increasing costs of processing of
terrestrial minerals as well as availability of several strategic metals in seabed
mineral resources; it therefore becomes imperative to take stock of various issues
related to deep-sea mining. The authors are experienced scientists and engineers from
around the globe developing advanced technologies for mining and metallurgical extraction
as well as performing deep sea exploration for several decades. They invite readers
to learn about the resource potential of different deep-sea minerals, design considerations
and development of mining systems, and the potential environmental impacts of mining
in international waters
