Manganese -oxide MnO

The lithiophylite had also about 32 per cent, and the triphylite about 9 per cent, of manganese oxide, MnO. All the minerals have about one per cent, of insoluble earthy gangue. 

Manganese oxides MnO is grey-green Mn02 is black Mn203 is black. 

Both the manganese oxides MnO, CAS no. [1344-43-0] and manganese dioxide [1313-13-9] are primarily produced from pyrolusite ore rich in Mn02. Mn02 is reduced to MnO using finely powdered coal, hydrogen, CO, etc. in absence of air. 

Manganese oxide (MnO J photoreduction is an important mechanism maintaining manganese in a reduced state in surface waters (Sunda et al., 1983), but reductive dissolution of MnO by H202 (Sunda and Huntsman, 1983), produced in part by phytoplankton amine oxidases, may be another pathway by which manganese is kept in a thermodynamically unfavorable reduced state. 

Plasma Production of Manganese Oxide (MnO) by Decomposition of Rhodonite (MnSiOs)... 

Thermal decomposition of rhodonite in plasma is similar to that of zircon sand. The mineral rhodonite, which is a manganese silicate (MnSiOs), has a high melting temperature but can be effectively dissociated in thermal plasma with the formation of manganese oxide (MnO) and silica (Si02) ...

The major ore of manganese is pyrolusite [4—7]. If manganese ores are not soluble in an acid, they are reductively roasted at 700 °C to produce manganese oxide (MnO), and manganese is removed with sulfuric acid. Fe, Al, Mo, As and Si as impurities are removed from solution by neutralization. As a small amount of As, Cu, Pb, Ni and Co are contained in the neutralized solution still, these are removed as their sulfate by adding H2S and 99.97% pure manganese is prepared by the electrolysis of the solution as the electrolyte [4—7]. 

Other examples of cubic crystals with these slip systems and, therefore, this characteristic of anisotropy, include nickel oxide, NiO manganese oxide, MnO ReOj bronze-type perovskites, M WOs and the transition metal carbides and nitrides.
