CAS 1313-13-9: Manganese oxide (MnO2)

Manganese (IV) oxide is a reactive metal that is used in the production of sulfuric acid, fertilizers, and other chemicals. It has been found to have antioxidant effects and can be used for the treatment of oxidative injury. Manganese (IV) oxide has also been shown to have a protective effect on cells against radiation by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and protecting cell membranes from damage. Manganese (IV) oxide nanoparticles are used as a model system for studying brain function, due to their ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Manganese oxides are also used in wastewater treatment, because they react with nitrogen compounds and produce ammonia gas which can be removed by a scrubber.

Applications Manganese(IV) Oxide is used in dry-cell batteries such as alkaline battery and the zinc-carbon battery. It is also used in the oxidation of allylic alcohols. References Julian, H., et al.: Environ. Sci. Technol., 37, 3332 (2003).

Manganese (IV) oxide, activated, is an inorganic chemical compound that is used as a reducing agent. It is a black solid with the formula MnO2. This compound has been shown to be an oxidizing agent by removing nitrate from solutions. Manganese (IV) oxide, activated has also been shown to activate superoxide and produce hydrogen peroxide from water. Manganese (IV) oxide, activated binds to body proteins and may play a role in neural cell function. Manganese (IV) oxide, activated has been shown to have antithrombotic activity because it inhibits blood clotting by inhibiting the conversion of prothrombin into thrombin.

Manganese(IV) oxide activated

Manganese (IV) oxide is a reactive compound that is used in water treatment to remove hydrogen sulfide from wastewater. Manganese (IV) oxide reacts with water vapor and forms manganese sulfate, which precipitates out of solution. The structure of manganese (IV) oxide has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction and found to be pyrolusite, a mineral composed of manganese dioxide. Nuclear DNA damage has been shown to cause neuronal death in mice treated with manganese chloride. Mouse tumor cells were exposed to manganese chloride and showed increased levels of DNA damage, as well as increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation rates. Polymerase chain reaction experiments have also shown that the polymerase activity of DNA is inhibited by exposure to manganese chloride.

It is used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis such as oxidation of allylic/benzylic alcohols, as a textile dye, as a reducing agent, and as a component of dry cell batteries such as zinc-carbon battery and alkaline battery. It is also used in making pigments for glasses and ceramics, and drier for paints. Further it is used in the manufacture of manganese steel and several manganese derivatives including potassium permanganate, a powerful versatile oxidant. Catalytic hydration of nitriles to amides by flowing through manganese dioxide has been reported. Manganese dioxide supported on inorganic oxide can be used for oxidation of methylamine through CWAO (Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation). It has high potential as highly efficient and robust material for water oxidation reaction (WORs).

Manganese(IV) oxide is suitable for use in batteries. It is widely used for the selective oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols to aldehydes or ketones, as a co-oxidant in combination with 1,4-benzoquinone and in the allylic oxidation of olefins catalyzed by Palladium(II)­ acetate. It acts a reagent for oxidations. It is the source of manganese and all its compounds, largely used in manufacturing of manganese steel, for making amethyst glass, decolorizing glass, painting on porcelain, faience and majolica. The precipitate is used in electrotechnics, pigments, browning gun barrels, drier for paints and varnishes, printing and dyeing textiles.

Manganese(IV) oxide is used as a pigment and as a reagent inorganic synthesis especially for the oxidation of allylic alcohols. It is also used for dry -cell batteries such as the alkaline battery and the zinc-carbon battery. It is involved in the preparation of other manganese compounds. It is a precursor to ferromanganese and related alloys, which is useful in the steel industry. It catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Further, it is used to prepare manganese(II) sulfate, manganese(II) chloride and potassium permanganate. In addition to this, it is used in ceramics and glass manufacturing as an inorganic pigment.
