Manganous oxide
  • Chemical formula           MnO
  • Identification           CAS Nr. 1344-43-0
  • Process           Reduction of Manganese ore (pyrolusite) with reducing gas or coal
  • Chemical characteristics (typical)
              Total Mn 52 - 63 %
              MnO 65 - 82 %
              max. MnO2 2 - 5 %
              Fe 3 - 10 %
              C 1 - 2 %
              SiO2 4 - 6 %
              K2O 0.5 - 1 %
              CaO 0.2 - 0.4 %
              MgO 0.2 - 0.5 %
              Pb 60 - 100 ppm
              As 50 - 75 ppm
              Cd, Hg 1 - 5 ppm
  • Physical properties (typical)
              appearance brownish-green fine powder
              tapped density 1.80 - 1.90 kg/dm³
              solubility water-insoluble / acid-soluble
              particle size 70 - 80 % <70 µm
  • Toxicity / handling / storage
              Toxicity MnO is not hazardous
              Handling avoid dust formation which may cause respiratory, skin, eye irritations
              Storage store in dry, well-ventilated area
  • Specific advantages
              chemically neutral
              very low MnO2 content
              highly bio-available
              not hygroscopic
              free flowing
              most economic quality / price ratio
