Trimanganese tetraoxide CAS 1317-35-7

What is Trimanganese tetraoxide CAS 1317-35-7?

Trimanganese tetraoxide CAS 1317-35-7 is typically manufactured by high-temperature annealing of manganese oxides such as MnO₂ or Mn₂O₃ in air above 950–1000°C, or through other thermal reduction methods, serving as a key intermediate in manganese chemistry and a versatile material across electronics, energy, and traditional sectors.

Specification

Feature

• Mixed Valence: Contains both Mn²⁺ and Mn³⁺ ions in spinel structure.
• Allotropic Forms: Exists in stable alpha (tetragonal hausmannite) and unstable beta modifications.
• Brown-Black Powder: Commonly appears as brownish-black to dark powder or crystals.
• Spinel Structure: Adopts cubic spinel lattice with distinct cation sites.
• Natural Occurrence: Found as hausmannite mineral.

Application

• Ferrite Production: Used as starting material for soft ferrites like manganese-zinc ferrite.
• Battery Materials: Incorporated in lithium manganese oxide for lithium batteries.
• Catalysis: Functions as catalyst for oxidation, combustion, and organic reactions.
• Thermite Process: Serves in aluminothermic reduction to produce manganese metal.
• Weighting Agent: Applied as drilling mud additive in oil/gas wells.
• Ceramics & Pigments: Added in ceramics, paints, and colored glass.
• Other Uses: Employed in animal feeds, fertilizers, textile printing, and bleaching.
