Extract

Todorokite is a manganese oxide mineral that occurs in widespread terrestrial and marine deposits. It is a major component of manganese nodules which occur in large quantities on ocean and some lake floors (>1012 tons). Todorokite has been linked to the presence of potentially mineable transition elements in manganese nodules. Todorokite is an octahedral molecular sieve material and has been termed by some in the chemical community as OMS-1. Many of the properties of synthetic and natural varieties have been characterized and potential applications include use for adsorption, as oxidation catalysts and in electrochemical devices.

The todorokite structure consists of a framework of MnO6 octahedra that are edge- and corner-linked to form tunnel structures. Several tunnel structures have been found in naturally occurring todorokite ranging from the most basic 3×3 structure to 3×8 and larger structures. Large cations and water occur in the tunnel interiors.
