Dioxide MnO

Oxygen can be produced by electrolysis of water using a salt as an electrolyte that produces hydrogen at the opposite electrode. When potassium chlorate (KClOj) is heated in a test tube with a small amount of manganese dioxide (MnO ) as a catalyst, the chemical reaction that releases the oxygen from potassium chlorate will be accelerated. Use of potassium nitrate (KNOj) will also produce small amounts of oxygen. 

Laboratory amounts of chlorine (Cy are produced by combining hydrochloric acid (HCl) with manganese dioxide (MnO ). The HCl provides the CL ion. 

It occurs in seawater where some species of seaweed and kelp accumulate the element in their cells. It is also recovered from deep brine wells found in Chile, Indonesia, Japan, and Michigan, Arkansas, and Oklahoma in the United States. The iodine is recovered from cremated ashes of seaweed. The ashes are leached with water to remove the unwanted salts. Finally, manganese dioxide (MnO ) is added to oxidize the iodine ions (1 ) to produce elemental diatomic iodine (y. The following reaction takes place 41 " + MnO —> Mnl + I. + 202-... 

The ability of a variety of metal oxides — most notably manganese dioxide, MnO 2 catalyze the thermal decomposition of... 

The most common ore from which manganese is extracted goes under the name of pyrolusite. This is nothing but. your old friend manganese dioxide (MnOs) which you found in your flashlight battery... 

Because you can easily further oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids, you can only employ mild oxidizing agents and conditions in the formation of aldehydes. Typical mild oxidizing agents include manganese dioxide (MnO), Sarett-Collins reagent (CrO,—(CSHSN)2), and pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC),... 

The ionic liquid l-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluorob-orate has been used to synthesize nanoneedlcs and nanorods of manganese dioxide (MnO,).192 Crystalline silica nanowires were prepared by Deepalc et al.m by a carbothermal procedure. Crystalline SiO, nanowires have also been prepared by a low-temperature iron assisted hydrothermal procedure.1,5... 

The precipitate is insoluble in excess reagent. The precipitate rapidly oxidizes on exposure to air, becoming brown, when hydrated manganese dioxide, MnO(OH)2, is formed ... 

Recent advances in polyaniline (PANI) composites with oxides of transition metals such as titanium dioxide (TiO ), vanadium pentoxide (V Oj), chromium(III) oxide Crfif, manganese dioxide (MnO ), ferrous oxide (FeO), ferric oxide (Fe Oj), magnetite (FejO ), cobalt(II,III) oxide (Co O ), nickel oxide (NiO), cuprous oxide (CUjO), cupric oxide (CuO), zinc oxide (ZnO), yttrium oxide zirconium... 

MnOj thick film, deposited on the surface of metal oxides such as SnO and WO3 with the purpose of reducing the interference of O3 for NO sensors, acts as a catalytically active filter as well (Pijolat et al. 2003 Viricelle et al. 2006 Zhang et al. 2012). Fortunately, O3 is unstable and can be transformed to O3 by catalysts, e.g., manganese dioxide (MnO ) (Dhandapani and Oyama 1997). The results obtained have shown that the sensors with thin MnO filters are able to reduce the O3 interference while keeping a good response to NO. ... 

MANGANESE DIOXIDE. MnO. Mol. wt. 87 sp. gr. 5. It is converted into MujOj at 535°C. Is insoluble in water and HNO3 and soluble in HCl. It occurs in nature as the blue-black mineral pyrolusite, which is mined in the former USSR, Gabon, Ghana, Morocco, South Africa, India, Brazil, Mexico, and in small quantities in several U.S. states, including Tennessee, Montana and New Mexico.
