Product name: Manganese Sulfate
Molecular Formula: MnSO4
CAS No.: 7785-87-7
Product Description:
Manganese（II） sulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula MnSO4. This colourless deliquescent solid is a commercially significant manganese（II） salt. Approximately 260M kg/y were produced worldwide in 2005. It is the precursor to manganese metal and many chemical compounds. Mn-deficient soil is remediated with this salt.
Applications:
Typically manganese ores are purified by their conversion to manganese sulfate. Treatment of aqueous solutions of the sulfate with sodium carbonate leads to precipitation of manganese carbonate, which can be calcined to give the oxides MnOx. Manganese dioxide reacts with sulfur dioxide to produce manganese sulfate:
MnO2 + SO2 → MnSO4
Manganese sulfate is a by-product of various industrially significant oxidations that use manganese dioxide, including the manufacture of hydroquinone and anisaldehyde.
Treatment of manganese sulfate with potassium permanganate affords manganese dioxide, a component of dry-cell batteries.
