Manganese IV Oxide

Manganese(III) oxide is formed when manganese IV) oxide is heated at 600 to 800 C  

Manganese(lV) oxide exists in many modifications. The only modification which approaches a stoichiometric composition is p-MnOy (e.g. the mineral pyrolusite) and it is the least reactive. All the other modifications contain additional cations, such as Na+, K , Ca- and Ba , anions, such as OH, and water. The average valency stale of the manganese is also less than 4 (down to, 1.4). The almost amorphous y-MnO (the mineral nsutite) is particularly reactive. 

Manganese(IV) oxide for utilization in dry batteries (y-and e-Mn02) or as the starting material for ferrites ([3-MnOo) can be produced by a number of processes  

Manganese(IV) oxide minerals are thermally decomposed to manganese(Ill) oxide (see Section 3.5.1.3.2), which disproportionates when reacted with hot concentrated sulfuric acid to manganese(II) sulfate tnd battery active y-MnOs

On the industrial scale oxygen is obtained by the fractional distillation of air. A common laboratory method for the preparation of oxygen is by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. H Oj, a reaction catalysed by manganese(IV) oxide ... 

It decomposes exothermically to oxygen, a reaction which can be explosive. Even dilute ozone decomposes slowly at room temperature the decomposition is catalysed by various substances (for example manganese(IV) oxide and soda-lime) and occurs more rapidly on heating. 

Alternatively a mixture of almost any solid chloride and manganese-(IV) oxide will yield chlorine when warmed with concentrated sulphuric acid. These are the most common laboratory methods but there are many others. 

In the laboratory, bromine is prepared by oxidation of bromide ion the oxidation is carried out by mixing solid potassium bromide with manganese(IV) oxide and distilling with concentrated sulphuric acid ... 

Iodine is rarely prepared in the laboratory the method used is the oxidation of an iodide by manganese(IV) oxide and sulphuric acid, for example with sodium iodide ... 

The decomposition of potassium chlorate(V) is catalysed by manganese(IV) oxide, Mn02, and oxygen is evolved on heating the mixture below the melting point of the chlorate(V). 

If a chloride is heated with manganese(IV) oxide and concentrated sulphuric acid, chlorine is evolved. 

Manganese is the third most abundant transition metal, and is widely distributed in the earth s crust. The most important ore is pyrolusite, manganese(IV) oxide. Reduction of this ore by heating with aluminium gives an explosive reaction, and the oxide Mn304 must be used to obtain the metal. The latter is purified by distillation in vacuo just above its melting point (1517 K) the pure metal can also he obtained by electrolysis of aqueous manganese(II) sulphate. 

This oxide is obtained by adding potassium manganate(VII) to concentrated sulphuric acid, when it appears as a dark coloured oil which readily decomposes (explosively on heating) to manganese(IV) oxide and oxygen ... 

Manganese(IV) oxide is the only familiar example of this oxidation state. It occurs naturally as pyrolusite, but can be prepared in an anhydrous form by strong heating of manganese(II) nitrate ... 

Manganese(IV) oxide is a dark-brown solid, insoluble in water and dilute acids. Its catalytic decomposition of potassium chlor-ate(V) and hydrogen peroxide has already been mentioned. It dissolves slowly in alkalis to form manganates(lW), but the constitution of these is uncertain. It dissolves in ice-cold concentrated hydrochloric acid forming the complex octahedral hexachloromangan-ate(IV) ion ...

The Mn ion is so unstable that it scarcely exists in aqueous solution. In acidic aqueous solution, manganic compounds readily disproportionate to form Mn ions and hydrated manganese(IV) oxide, Mn02 2H20 in basic solution these compounds hydroly2e to hydrous manganese(III) oxide, MnO(OH). Sulfuric acid concentrations of about 400 450 g/L are required to stabilize the noncomplexed Mn ion in aqueous solutions.

The heat of adsorption of 2-nitropropane is very high, so carbon-containing respirators should not be used in high vapour concentrations. Also, if Hopcalite catalyst (co-precipitated copper(II) oxide and manganese (IV) oxide) is present in the respirator cartridge, ignition may occur.

Manganese (IV) oxide enjoys numerous applications in modem technologies. The most widely known areas of its usage are sorption processes one could recall that co-precipitation of contaminating cations with manganese oxide is still employed as part of the in-tank precipitation in processes of treatment of supernatant wastes at high concentration. Furthermore, co-precipitation data are usually used as benchmark results in studies of novel sorbents for strontium [4],...
