Metal manganese

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). 

Metallic manganese was first isolated in 1774 when C. W. Scheele recognized that pyrolusite contained a new element, and his fellow Swede, J. G. Gahn, heated the Mn02 with a mixture of charcoal and oil. The purity of this sample of the metal was low, and high-purity (99.9%) manganese was only produced in the 1930s when electrolysis of Mn solutions was used.

Thermistor basedflow-through calorimetric sensors. Enzyme thermistors make the most widely developed type of heat measurement-based sensors. The thermistors are normally used as temperature transducers in these devices. Thermistors are resistors with a very high negative temperature coefficient of resistance. They are ceramic semiconductors made by sintering mixtures of metal (manganese, nickel, cobalt, copper, iron) oxides. Like the two previous groups, thermistor sensors do not comply strictly with the definition of "sensor" as they do not consist of transducers surrounded by an immobilized enzyme rather, they use a thermistor at the end of a small...

Metallic manganese certainly dissolves readily in 1 mol L-1 aqueous acid, as expected, but in aqueous base a coating of insoluble Mn(OH)2 would form immediately, stopping the predicted reaction. In cases such as aluminum [E° for A13+/A1(s) = -1.67 V], the product Al is soluble in alkali as the aluminate ion Al(OH)4+ but not in neutral water, in which the...

Metallic manganese has no use by itself. But add up to 15 per cent of it to steel and the result is an alloy — manganese steel — so hard that it is suitable for machine parts that are exposed to a lot of rough wear.
