Manganese carbonate

Manganese carbonate (CAS 598-62-9), also sold as manganous carbonate, is an inorganic manganese salt used as a manganese source and pH buffer.

Where is Manganese carbonate used?

• Chemical manufacturing: precursor to other manganese compounds and catalyst component
• Animal feed and agricultural premixes: trace mineral supplement meeting nutritional specifications for livestock and poultry
• Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical: mineral source in tablet and capsule formulations where controlled manganese content is required
• Ceramics and pigments: colorant and flux precursor contributing to fired-color outcomes
• Industrial catalysts: starting material for manganese oxide catalysts used in oxidation and decomposition reactions

Commercial specifications

• Purity 43–46% Mn content depending on grade
• Packaging from multi-wall bags to bulk quantities
