Fe-oxyhydroxide deposits at Semenov hydrothermal field (13°30'N), Mid-Atlantic ridge: insights into formation, modification and resource potential
{{output}}
Secondary Fe-oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) forms at seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits through the oxidation of sulphide minerals by oxygenated seawater. Secondary FeOOH deposits are enriched in economically important metals, such as Cu and Zn, potentially repres... ...
