Abstract

The apparent rate expressions for the dissolution of metal ions from deep sea manganese nodules have been derived using a pore model together with heterogeneous reaction at the pore surface. The rate expression is comprised mainly of two terms: one describing the pore diffusion and the other the heterogeneous reaction. The effect of particle size and temperature on the dissolution rate of metal ions is discussed in view of the model and the experimental results.
