MANGANESE (II) SULFATE usually promoted to the inorganic compound with the formula MnSO4 • H2O.

Manganese ores are purified by their conversion to manganese (II) sulfate. Treatment of aqueous solutions of the sulfate with sodium carbonate leads to precipitation of manganese carbonate, which can be calcined to give the oxides MnOx. In the laboratory, manganese sulfate can be made by treating manganese dioxide with sulfur dioxide:

MnO2 + SO2 + H2O → MnSO4 (H2O)

It can also be made by mixing potassium permanganate with sodium bisulfate and hydrogen peroxide.

Application:

- Used as a nutritional and dietary supplement in food.

- Manganese sulphate is used as a porcelain enamel, as an additive in the fertilizer industry. It is added to the soil to promote plant growth, especially citrus crops.

- It is a good reducing agent for the production of paint, drying varnish.

- Used in textile dyes, fungicides, medicines and ceramics.

- Used in flotation of ores, as a catalyst in the viscose process and in the synthesis of manganese dioxide.

- Used as a nutritional and poultry element in veterinary medicine

- Used as a laboratory reagent.
