| Physical and chemical properties | Manganese trioxide is a black cubic crystal, insoluble in water, acetic acid and ammonium chloride solutions, and soluble in other inorganic acids. heating to 1080 ℃ to decompose to generate Mn3O4 and O2. Dissolve in cold hydrochloric acid into a brown solution, in hot dilute sulfuric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid into a red solution, in hot nitric acid decomposition into MnO2 and manganese nitrate, heat decomposition into Mn3O4 and release O2. It exists in the form of α-Mn2O3 and γ-Mn2O3. |
| preparation method | α-type can be produced by heating the nitrate, carbonate or chloride, and hydride of divalent manganese in the air to 600~800 ℃ Decomposition. The γ-type can be prepared by heating MnO2 at 500 ℃ in vacuum for 78 hours, or by dehydrating γ-MnO(OH). |
| Application | The hydrated oxide of manganese trioxide for trivalent manganese is called manganese brown, which is used as an printing agent for cloth, and it is also a raw material for making manganese compounds And intermediate products. |
| store | manganese trioxide is packed in inert gas plastic bags, sealed and stored in a dry and cool environment, and should not be exposed to the air to prevent oxidation and agglomeration due to moisture, thus affecting the dispersion performance and use effect. |
