POLYMETAL
(Redirected from Polymetallic)
Primarily used in chemistry or mining, 'polymetal' or 'polymetallic' refers to a substance comprised of a combination of different metals. When the substance contains only two metals the term ''bimetal'' (''bimetallic'') is sometimes preferred (not to be confused with ''bimetallism'', which refers to a type of monetary system).
★ A 'polymetallic ore' (or '''polymetal'' ore') is an ore that is the source of more than one metal suitable for recovery.
★ A mine containing polymetallic ore is a 'polymetallic mine'.
★ 'Polymetallic nodules' are concretions of manganese and iron (and other metals) found on the ocean floor. They are sometimes called ''manganese nodules'', after their principal component.
