Product Name – Manganese(IV) oxide, 99.99+%, (trace metal basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 5GR, 25GR, 100GR Form – Powder Grade – 99.99% (trace metal basis) Application – Catalyst, oxidizing agent, analytical reagent

Product Overview

Manganese(IV) oxide (MnO₂) with 99.99% purity (trace metal basis) is a highly reactive black powder widely used in laboratory settings for its strong oxidizing properties. This high-grade MnO₂ is synthesized to minimize metallic impurities, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive applications. Its fine particle size and high surface area enhance reactivity, making it suitable for catalytic processes, redox reactions, and as a reagent in qualitative analysis. The material is chemically stable under normal storage conditions but reacts vigorously with reducing agents, releasing oxygen. Its high purity level ensures minimal interference in analytical procedures, making it ideal for trace metal analysis and other precision-dependent experiments. The powder form allows for easy dispersion in aqueous or organic media, depending on the application requirements. Proper handling is recommended due to its oxidizing nature, and it should be stored in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.

FAQs

1. What is the particle size range of this Manganese(IV) oxide?

The particle size typically ranges between 1-5 microns, though exact distribution may vary slightly between batches. The fine particle size ensures high surface area for improved reactivity in catalytic applications.

2. Is this MnO₂ compatible with organic solvents?

While primarily used in aqueous systems, it can be dispersed in certain organic solvents like ethanol or acetone with proper mixing techniques. Compatibility depends on the specific solvent and intended application.

3. What alternatives exist for similar oxidation reactions?

Potassium permanganate or lead(IV) oxide can serve as alternatives for some oxidation reactions, though each has different reactivity profiles and safety considerations. MnO₂ is often preferred for its stability and controlled reaction rates.

4. How should this material be stored for long-term use?

Store in a cool, dry place in the original tightly sealed container. Exposure to moisture or reducing agents should be avoided to maintain its oxidizing properties over time.

5. What is the typical moisture content in this grade?

The moisture content is maintained below 0.5% in this high-purity grade, as verified through loss-on-drying testing during quality control procedures.
