Manganese Dioxide
CAS Registry Number: 1313-13-9
Additional Names: Manganese binoxide; manganese peroxide; manganese superoxide; black manganese oxide
Molecular Formula: MnO2
Molecular Weight: 86.94.
Percent Composition: Mn 63.19%, O 36.81%
Literature References: Occurs in nature as the mineral pyrolusite, or made artificially (pptd). The native product is heavy, steel-gray when in lumps, black when powdered; the pptd product is a brownish-black, fine powder. Both usually contain some Mn3O4 and some water. When ignited evolves oxygen, leaving Mn3O4. Lab prepn: Moore et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 72, 856 (1950); Covington et al., Trans. Faraday Soc. 58, 1975 (1962). Toxicity study: D. J. Holbrook, Jr. et al., Environ. Health Perspect. 10, 95 (1975). Review of use as reagent: J. S. Pizey, Synthetic Reagents vol. 2 (John Wiley, New York, 1974) pp 143-174.
Properties: Tetragonal crystals (rutile structure). Insol in water, nitric or cold sulfuric acid. Slowly dissolves in cold HCl with evolution of Cl2; in presence of hydrogen peroxide or oxalic acid it dissolves in dil H2SO4 or HNO3. Strong oxidizer; should not be heated or rubbed with organic matter or other oxidizable substances, e.g., sulfur, sulfides, phosphides, hypophosphites, etc. LD50 orally in rats: >40 mmole/kg (Holbrook).
Toxicity data: LD50 orally in rats: >40 mmole/kg (Holbrook)
Use: The mineral is the source of manganese and all its compds; largely used in manuf manganese steel; oxidizer; in alkaline batteries (dry cells); for making amethyst glass, decolorizing glass; painting on porcelain, faience and majolica. The ppt is used in electrotechnics, pigments, browning gun barrels, drier for paints and varnishes, printing and dyeing textiles.
If the MBRP is washed with cold HCl that is then warmed up... left to sit for a while and decanted what would the H2SO4 be removing?
