Is manganese trioxide Mn2O3 an alkaline oxide?

The spread of the novel coronavirus is taking a direct hit on the operations of airlines in Asia. About 500,000 flights taking off and landing in mainland China have been canceled since January, according to aviation information company Cerium. Tourists and business trips have plummeted. On the booking website, there are a large number of air tickets for local routes with a price reduction of nearly 90% compared with the original price and only tens of yuan for a one-way trip.
In February, China's aviation industry recorded its largest single-month loss of 24.59 billion yuan, of which airlines lost 20.96 billion yuan.
Data from the Civil Aviation Administration of China showed that in February, the number of passengers traveling by air fell 84.5% year-on-year to 8.34 million.
The stagnation of the Asian aviation industry has brought volatility to Manganese Oxide Mn2O3.

Manganese oxide Mn2O3 overview

Manganese trioxide is an oxide with a chemical formula of Mn2O3 and a molecular weight of 157.88. Black cubic crystals. Relative density 4.50. Insoluble in water, acetic acid and ammonium chloride solution, soluble in other inorganic acids. It dissolves in cold hydrochloric acid to form a brown solution, becomes a red solution in hot dilute sulfuric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid, decomposes into MnO₂ and manganese nitrate in hot nitric acid, and decomposes into Mn3O4 when heated and releases O₂. It exists in two forms, α-Mn2O3 and γ-Mn2O3. α-type is obtained by decomposing nitrate, carbonate or chloride and hydride of divalent manganese in air by heating to 600～800℃; γ-type is obtained by heating MnO2 in vacuum at 500℃ for 78 hours, or By γ-MnO (OH) dehydration obtained. It can be used in the printing and dyeing process of fabrics, in the oxidation process of carbon monoxide and organic compounds, and can also be used to synthesize soft magnetic materials, or as an important base material for the synthesis of lithium-ion batteries.

"Not necessarily, for example: metal oxides such as manganese heptaoxide and chromium trioxide are acidic oxides, and metal oxides such as aluminum oxide and zinc oxide are amphoteric oxides, none of which are basic oxides; carbon monoxide and Non-metal oxides such as nitrogen are non-salt-forming oxides, and they are not acidic oxides."

Application of Manganese Oxide Mn2O3

Manganese Oxide Mn2O3 is a highly insoluble, thermally stable source of manganese for glass, optical and ceramic applications. Manganese oxide is a black/brown solid, high purity (99.999%) manganese oxide (MnO) powder and is the primary natural source of manganese.

Manganese oxide minerals have been around for thousands of years – used by the ancients to make pigments and clear glass, and are now used as manganese, catalysts and battery materials. There are more than 30 kinds of manganese oxide minerals distributed in various geological environments.

1. Mn2O3 has a wide range of uses and can be used in the printing and dyeing process of fabrics.

2. It can efficiently catalyze the oxidation of organic pollutants and nitrogen oxides, and catalyze organic coupling reactions.

3. It can be used as the precursor of soft magnetic material.

4. As a raw material for synthesizing lithium ion battery electrode materials.

Manganese oxide Mn2O3 suppliers

As a global supplier of manganese oxide Mn2O3, Tanki New Materials Ltd. has extensive experience in the performance, application and cost-effective manufacturing of advanced engineered materials. The company has successfully developed a series of powder materials (titanium oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, etc.), high-purity target materials, functional ceramics and structural devices, and provides OEM services.

Recently, the Turkish government announced that the Turkish President has signed a presidential decree to provide incentives for its Black Sea gas field development projects, including tax exemptions and other preferential measures.  

With a fixed investment of 145.1 billion Turkish lira ($10 billion), the project will employ 1,018 people and produce 14 billion standard cubic meters of gas per year, the decree reads. The incentives involved include tariff and VAT exemptions, as well as a range of tax cuts.

In June 2021, Turkish drill ships discovered 135 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Sakaria field in the Black Sea, bringing Turkey's total gas discoveries in the region to 540 billion cubic meters.  

Turkey imports almost all of its annual gas consumption of about 50 billion cubic meters.  

Except for natural gas, the supply and prices of many other Manganese Oxide Mn2O3 will continue to be influenced by international situations.
