Germanium-Rich Crusts of the Sea of Japan

Ore crusts with a germanium content of up to 96 ppm were discovered in the Sea of Japan. This is tens of times higher than the clarke of the Earth’s crust. Germanium-rich crusts were dredged together with intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks. The crusts are composed predominantly of iron oxyhydroxides (goethite) and contain germanium in the dispersed state.

Abstract

Ore crusts with a germanium content of up to 96 ppm were discovered in the Sea of Japan. This is tens of times higher than the clarke of the Earth’s crust. Germanium-rich crusts were dredged together with intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks. The crusts are composed predominantly of iron oxyhydroxides (goethite) and contain germanium in the dispersed state.
