...—specifically, by achieving voltage levels comparable to those used in today's bottom-fixed offshore wind farms. Subsea cable costs are largely driven by material usage, particularly the conductor. Aluminum, which is significantly cheaper than copper, is widely used for static cables but has seen limited...

... with a substantial track-record. The same cannot be said for copper conductors for which only a few studies have been undertaken accounting for a limited parameter range. One parameter that should be studied further is the effect of intermittent creep damage due to the interplay between the conductors' mean stress...

..., where most of the metals are expelled to the open ocean in buoyant hydrothermal plumes, metals in the Atlantis II Deep are trapped and precipitated beneath a 200-m-thick brine layer. These sediments show extremely high concentrations of zinc, copper, silver, and gold (90 Mt of dry salt-free sediment...

... the surprised look of the ropemakers with a budget requisition in the 1870's for a rope ‘umbilical’ >15,000 feet (4,500 metres) to deploy sampling tools to the ocean deeps. Analysis of the samples in 1891 showed the Pacific Ocean nodules to containimportant metals, including nickel, copper and cobalt...

... Abstract Nautilus Minerals, the world's leader in exploration and development of deep ocean seafloor resources, has located a number of high grade copper and gold Seafloor Massive Sulphide (SMS) deposits in the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea (PNG). Nautilus' business model is based...

... Abstract High temperature hydrothermal activity was first observed 30 years ago in the modern oceans where hot springs are precipitating sulfide-sulfate-silica mounds and columnar edifices (" chimneys??) of calcium, barium, iron, copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold with other minor elements...

... ABSTRACT At present, the ore reserves per man in China is 1.5t, much less than 3.5t which is the average ore reserves per man in the world. With the development of China national economic construction, the requirement for copper, nickel, cobalt and manganese to China's industries is being...

The corrosion products formed can inhibit adhesion, but more importantly the precipitated cuprous oxide, being a toxic substance when...

... Abstract A new approach to the old problem of the prevention of fouling on marine structures is examined with the aim of producing a cost-effective, long life system of antifouling. The system described produces a controlled release of copper ions from point sources exposedon the surface...

... ABSTRACT An acid leaching process of Pacific ocean nodules has been studied. Nodules were leached with 0.1-3.5 N sulfuric acid at 70-90°C for 2-30 hours. Kinetics of copper and nickel extraction was discussed. Nickel and cobalt were recovered from the leaching solutions with hydrogen sulfide...

Abstract Under Sea Grant sponsorship, the University of Wisconsin has been looking since 1971 into the question of the probability of offshore continuation of known and inferred copper mineralization under Lake Superior. In 1974, five areas adjacent to the Keweenaw Peninsula were investigated...
