Iron and sulfide nanoparticle formation and transport in nascent hydrothermal vent plumes

There has been much interest recently in the transport mechanisms of metals from hydrothermal vents. Here the authors found that nanoparticulate pyrite is not removed from the plume and can account for over 50% of filtered iron one metre from the vent mouth.
