Composition of carbonaceous chondrites as an indicator of the abundance of C-type asteroids in metallic resources

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

The chemical composition of carbonaceous chondrites was analysed in terms of the content of selected 24 metals, including noble metals and rare-earth metals. Based on the obtained results, the abundance of C-type asteroids in metallic raw materials was estimated and compared to the concentration of terrestrial deposits and the average content in the Earth’s crust. All the analysed elements, except rare earths, showed higher concentrations in carbonaceous chondrites than in the Earth’s crust, but most of them did not match the Earth’s deposit contents. The exception is Fe and Ni, the concentrations of which in carbonaceous chondrites significantly exceed the Earth’s deposit concentrations. The profitability of mining operations on C-type asteroids is also increased by the number of accompanying mineral commodities, mainly metals (Cr, Co, Cu, Au, Pt, Pd, Ag), and water ice. In addition, the parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrites occur relatively close to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn – potential space mission targets.
