Abstract

In order to elucidate possible processes leading to platinum accumulation in ferromanganese deposits, we analyzed published data on the interaction of dissolved platinum species in different valence states with iron and manganese oxyhydroxides under oceanic conditions and experimentally studied the kinetics of sorption of inorganic and organic complexes of platinum (II) and platinum (IV) on synthetic iron and manganese oxyhydroxides and natural materials (marine colloids, and ferromanganese crust samples). The role of dissolved and suspended particulate aquatic organic matter in the sorption accumulation of platinum was evaluated. Possible reasons for the preferential (compared with other noble metals) accumulation of platinum in oceanic ferromanganese deposits were discussed.
