Description
Manganese(II) Carbonate Product Overview
Manganese(II) carbonate (MnCO3) is a light pink, fine powder that is practically insoluble in water but dissolves easily in dilute mineral acids. On heating, it decomposes to manganese oxides and carbon dioxide.
Chemical producers use it as a clean starting material for manganese salts, because acids convert it without leaving unwanted anions. Similarly, electronic component producers use it for manganese-zinc ferrites in transformers and inductors, and battery material producers use high-purity grades for lithium manganese oxide cathodes. Welding consumable producers also add it to electrode coatings.
Furthermore, in agriculture, it serves as a slow-acting manganese source in fertilizers and feed. In addition, ceramic producers use it for brown and pink glazes. Related manganese compounds in our range also include Manganese(II) sulfate 1-hydrate, Manganese(IV) oxide and Manganese(II) chloride.
Key Applications of Manganese(II) Carbonate

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is manganese carbonate used to make manganese salts?
Because acids dissolve it cleanly and release only carbon dioxide, it gives pure salts without unwanted anions.
Do you supply battery-grade manganese carbonate?
Yes. High-purity grades with low impurity levels for cathode materials are also available.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
