This method is sometimes employed in the production of manganese dioxide, which is used in dry-cell batteries and for ferrites. [3] Manganese carbonate is widely used as an additive to plant fertilizers to cure manganese deficient crops. It is also used in health foods, in ceramics as a glaze colorant and flux, and in concrete stains. [5]
Kutnohorite is a rare calcium manganese carbonate mineral with magnesium and iron that is a member of the dolomite group. It forms a series with dolomite, and with ankerite.The end member formula is CaMn 2+ (CO 3) 2, [6] but Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ commonly substitute for Mn 2+, with the manganese content varying from 38% to 84%, [2] so the formula Ca(Mn 2+,Mg,Fe 2+)(CO 3) 2 better represents the species.
Ankerite is a calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese carbonate mineral of the group of rhombohedral carbonates with the chemical formula Ca(Fe,Mg,Mn)(CO 3) 2.In composition it is closely related to dolomite, but differs from this in having magnesium replaced by varying amounts of iron(II) and manganese.
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO 3. In its pure form (rare), it is typically a rose-red colour, [ 5 ] but it can also be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, [ 6 ] and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.5.

Organomanganese chemistry is the chemistry of organometallic compounds containing a carbon to manganese chemical bond.In a 2009 review, Cahiez et al. argued that as manganese is cheap and benign (only iron performs better in these aspects), organomanganese compounds have potential as chemical reagents, although currently they are not widely used as such despite extensive research.
Manganese oxide is used as an oxidising agent; as a rubber additive; and in glass making, fertilisers, and ceramics. Manganese sulfate can be used as a fungicide. Manganese is also an essential human dietary element, important in macronutrient metabolism, bone formation, and free radical defense systems.
Manganese(II) sulfate usually refers to the inorganic compound with the formula MnSO 4 ·H 2 O. This pale pink deliquescent solid is a commercially significant manganese(II) salt. Approximately 260,000 tonnes of manganese(II) sulfate were produced worldwide in 2005. It is the precursor to manganese metal and many other chemical compounds.
