Abstract
This work presents new technologies used in transporting deep-sea concretions from the seabed to the surface. Transporting matter from great depths to the surface is the biggest problem for deep-sea mining. The solutions used to date, based on Continuous Line Bucket (CLB) method, hydraulic pumping (HP) method or air-lift pumping (ALP) method, are energy-intensive, thus generating high costs. This research presents transport technology based on the concept of using phase transition from solid or liquid to gas or solid to liquid as an energy source for transport from the seabed. The developed methods are less cost-intensive, and the exploitation and transport of concretion can be undertaken environmentally friendly. In addition, methods of recovering metals from concretions are presented—hydrometallurgical methods and leaching.
