| [Occurrence and Uses]
Manganese(II) oxide is used in the fertilizer industry as a source of manganese in fertilizers; in feedstuff formulations; and as an intermediate in the production of several manganese compounds.
| [Production]
Manganese(II) oxide is obtained commercially from manganese(IV) oxide (manganese dioxide) by the reduction with hydrogen, carbon monoxide or methane at elevated temperatures (>800°C):
MnO2 + CO → MnO + CO2
MnO2 + H2 → MnO + H2O
The oxide also can be made by thermal decomposition of manganese(II) carbonate or manganese(II) oxalate in the absence of air:
MnCO3 → MnO + CO2
Also, careful dehydration of manganese(II) hydroxide, Mn(OH)2, under controlled conditions in the absence of air yields MnO.
| [Reactions]
Manganese(II) oxide is the lowest oxide of manganese and it is purely a basic oxide. It reacts with acids to form their manganese(II) salts:
MnO + H2SO4 → MnSO4 + H2O
MnO + 2HCl → MnCl2 + H2O
The compound also is oxidized by air or oxygen to higher oxides of manganese. When heated cautiously in air, the product is manganese sesquioxide or manganese(III) oxide:
4MnO + O2 → 2Mn2O3
