Assessment of metal contents (Ni, Co and PGEs) in asteroids as a potential source of valuable elements for a future green energy society

Peng, Chenglu January 2022 (has links)
The aim of this work is to assess the feasibility of asteroid exploitation as a potential source of valuable elements for a future green energy society and achieving a long-term sustainable development of our society. This research is based on the compilation of chemical data of elements concentration of 13 groups of iron meteorites from literature. These data were used to feed mathematical models to fit the historical world production data of each element and predicts the peak year and the future trend of their world production until 2100. Eventually, this work aims to calculate the required mass of asteroids for reaching different productions, and identify the most suitable groups of iron meteorites for exploitation.
