太平洋富钴结壳是一种产于大洋海底的金属矿产。它由于富含Mn,Co,Ni,Cu,Au和Pt等多种有用金属元素,储量大,产出水深相对较浅,较易开采,而具有极大的经济开发价值,是当前各国争相研究的新矿产。富钴结壳的厚度和Mn,Co等有用金属含量(即它的开发价值)与结壳的生长速率和年龄有密 Pacific cobalt-rich crust is a metal mineral produced in the ocean floor. Because it is rich in Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Au and Pt and other useful metallic elements, it has large reserve, relatively shallow water depth and is easy to mine, which is of great economic development value. New mineral research. The thickness of the cobalt-rich crust and the useful metal content of Mn and Co (ie, its development value) are closely related to the growth rate and age of the crust
