Manganese Carbonate CAS No.: 598-62-9

Manganese Carbonate CAS No.: 598-62-9

Product Description

Manganese Carbonate (MnCO₃, molecular weight 114.95 g/mol) is a pale pink to light brown or white powder. It occurs naturally as the mineral rhodochrosite and serves as an important source of manganese. It is insoluble in water but soluble in dilute acids and acts as a versatile precursor for other manganese compounds.

Key Properties

• Appearance: Pale pink to light brown powder

• Density: ~3.12 g/cm³

• Decomposition Temperature: >200–350°C (releases CO₂)

• Solubility: Insoluble in water and alcohol; soluble in dilute inorganic acids

• Stability: Stable under normal conditions; reacts with acids

High-purity grades (≥99%) with low trace metals are available for industrial and technical use.

Main Applications

• Agriculture: Micronutrient additive in fertilizers to correct manganese deficiencies in crops and support chlorophyll production.

• Animal Feed: Nutritional supplement to prevent manganese deficiency.

• Ceramics & Glass: Glaze colorant and flux for pink/brown hues.

• Batteries & Electronics: Precursor for manganese oxides used in dry-cell batteries, ferrites, and supercapacitors.

• Chemical Industry: Raw material for other manganese salts, pigments, catalysts, and welding rod coatings.

• Other: Paints, concrete stains, and pharmaceuticals.

Quality Standards

Available in technical and high-purity grades with controlled impurities (low heavy metals, suitable for battery and ceramic applications).

Safety Information

May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (especially via inhalation). Use PPE including respiratory protection when handling dust. Avoid release to the environment. Consult the SDS for detailed handling and first aid measures.
