They contain various elements, among them metals, that are used in today’s high- and green-tech applications. However, there is currently a lack of knowledge in how to plan and execute deep-sea mining projects in a sustainable manner. The main objective of this dissertation is to provide mining engineers with the knowledge required for “planning the mining of seafloor manganese nodules.” This includes the development of appropriate mining-engineering and knowledge-based solutions to technically and economically assess such projects and deposits, the definition of requirements, and the validation of assumptions for spatial mine planning. The dissertation comprises three techno-economic studies, which are based on a specific case study of the European research project Blue Mining, with focus on the German license area E1, Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone, Pacific Ocean.}, cin = {511110 / 510000}, ddc = {620}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)511110_20151029$ / $I:(DE-82)510000_20140620$}, pnm = {BLUE MINING - Breakthrough Solutions for the Sustainable Exploration and Extraction of Deep Sea Mineral Resources (604500)}, pid = {G:(EU-Grant)604500}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2018-230772}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/750679}, }
