Chemical composition of Pacific and Indian Ocean manganese nodules and crusts from the DOMES area and the NIXO-CNEXO campaign using X-ray emission spectrometry

Manganese nodules and crusts from the Pacific Ocean were analyzed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography using X-ray emission spectrometry (XES). Samples were ground to < 74 microns, pressed into pellets and dried at 110 Degrees Centigrade. They were analyzed by XES for 400 seconds.

采自太平洋的锰结核与锰结壳样本，于斯克里普斯海洋研究所（Scripps Institution of Oceanography）采用X射线发射光谱法（X-ray emission spectrometry, XES）开展分析。样本先被研磨至粒径小于74微米，压制成片后置于110摄氏度下烘干；随后采用该方法对样本进行了400秒的检测。
