Manganese Properties, Uses, Facts (original) (raw)

2021, Priyamstudycentre.com

Manganese (Mn), chemical element, a greyish-white hard, brittle paramagnetic metal of Group 7 (VIIB) of the periodic table used mainly as an additive to steel. The Swedish chemist Bergmann discovered the presence of magnesium in the black magnesia but fails to isolate it. In chemistry, the element was isolated by another Swedish chemist Johan Gottlieb Gahn and studies by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1774. At first, the metal was named in Latin word magnesium from the old name pyrolusite but in 1808, the Latin name of manganese changed to manganism to avoid confusion.

Establishing Performance Parameters to Determine Manganese Using Uv-Vis Molecular Absorption Spectrometry

2015

Manganese occurs in water, sediment, biological materials and soil [1, 2]. In the environment, it does not occur as the free metal but in the form of compounds, combined with other elements, such as: silicon, chlorine, oxygen, carbon and sulphur [3]. Two types of manganese compounds are known, namely: inorganic manganese compounds and organic manganese compounds. Inorganic manganese compounds are used in the production of batteries, dietary supplements, ceramics, steel and are generated as combustion products from coal – burning industrial plants and motor vehicles. Organic manganese compounds are used in the manufacture of pesticides, fertilizers and in a gasoline additive called methlcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) [4, 5]. These compounds are solid and can be dissolved in water or can be found in air as a suspension of small particles. There are 11 oxidation states with values between – 3 and + 7, but the most common are + 2 and + 4 [3].

SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF MANGANESE SUBSTITUTED MAGNESIUM CHROMITE.

The nanocrystalline Mg1-xMnxCr2O4 (X=0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0) chromite were synthesized by sol-gel autocombution route. Thermal analysis of precursor after autocombution was carried out by TG-DTA. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of single cubic spinel lattice for all compositions. Lattice parameter shows increasing trend with an increase in Mn content. Formation of spherical nanoparticals were revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The elemental analysis obtained by EDAX is in close agreement with the expected composition from the stoichiometry of reactant used. The magnetic data indicate that, all compositions are ferrimagnetic in nature. The detailed results of XRD, thermal analysis, SEM, EDAX and magnetic properties indicating the role of substitution of manganese metal ions on the structural and magnetic properties of magnesium chromites are presented.

Manganese oxide minerals: Crystal structures and economic and environmental significance

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999

Manganese oxide minerals have been used for thousands of years—by the ancients for pigments and to clarify glass, and today as ores of Mn metal, catalysts, and battery material. More than 30 Mn oxide minerals occur in a wide variety of geological settings. They are major components of Mn nodules that pave huge areas of the ocean floor and bottoms of many fresh-water lakes. Mn oxide minerals are ubiquitous in soils and sediments and participate in a variety of chemical reactions that affect groundwater and bulk soil composition. Their typical occurrence as fine-grained mixtures makes it difficult to study their atomic structures and crystal chemistries. In recent years, however, investigations using transmission electron microscopy and powder x-ray and neutron diffraction methods have provided important new insights into the structures and properties of these materials. The crystal structures for todorokite and birnessite, two of the more common Mn oxide minerals in terrestrial depos...

Manganese: Its Speciation, Pollution and Microbial Mitigation

International Journal of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology, 2013

Manganese is known to be one of the essential trace elements and has plenty of applications. Inspite of its essential nature, concerns are arising due to its toxic nature at higher concentration. Several methods of removing manganese from environment have been proposed during the last few decades. However, the most favourable option based on cost-effectiveness, performance, and simplicity is still under investigation. The current review summarizes updated information on various technical aspects on manganese, including chemical nature, speciation, toxicity and remediation strategies. The review starts with covering the major sources of manganese, its interaction with biological biomolecules causing toxicity. This is followed by its speciation in environment, describing both biotic and abiotic processes. The biotic processes describe the role of microorganisms in the oxidation/ reduction of various oxidation states of manganese. Whereas, abiotic processes mainly describes the role of...
