Manganese sulfate

The yield of hydroquinone is 85 to 90% based on aniline. The process is mainly a batch process where significant amounts of soHds must be handled (manganese dioxide as well as metal iron finely divided). However, the principal drawback of this process resides in the massive coproduction of mineral products such as manganese sulfate, ammonium sulfate, or iron oxides which are environmentally not friendly. Even though purified manganese sulfate is used in the agricultural field, few solutions have been developed to dispose of this unsuitable coproduct. Such methods include MnSO reoxidation to MnO (1), or MnSO electrochemical reduction to metal manganese (2). None of these methods has found appHcations on an industrial scale. In addition, since 1980, few innovative studies have been pubUshed on this process (3). 

Synthetic manganese carbonate is made from a water-soluble Mn (IT) salt, usually the sulfate, by precipitation with an alkafl or ammonium carbonate. The desired degree of product purity determines the quaUty of manganese sulfate and the form of carbonate to be used. For electronic-grade material, where the content of K O and Na20 cannot exceed 0.1% each, the MnSO is specially prepared from manganese metal, and ammonium bicarbonate is used (26) (see Electronic materials). After precipitation, the MnCO is filtered, washed free of excess carbonate, and then, to avoid undesirable oxidation by O2, dried carefljlly at a maximum temperature of 120°C.

To which a solution of manganese sulfate (15 g), 3.1 g of chromium trioxide, 72 ml of water and 3.5 ml of sulfuric acid was added. After stirring for 3.5 hours at 3°C, extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate-benzene (1 1) as eluent to give 2.35 g of the title compound. 

Akimov and Chernyak [452] investigated and reported on the mechanism of the interaction between columbite and tantalite and sulfuric acid. The said interaction is presented as comprising two steps. The first step is related to the formation of iron and manganese sulfates and of tantalum and niobium hydroxides ...
