Application

Manganese Carbonate, a naturally occurring, water-insoluble manganese source typically found as the mineral rhodochrosite, has a range of applications across various industries. It serves as a pigment known as "manganese white," and acts as a drier for varnishes. In agriculture, it is frequently used as an additive in plant fertilizers to remedy manganese deficiencies in crops. Its role extends to the ceramics industry, where it is used as a porcelain glaze, glaze colorant, and flux. Additionally, manganese carbonate acts as a catalyst in the viscose process and is employed in the field of medicine as a hematinic, supporting the production of blood cells. Beyond these uses, it is also incorporated into health foods and finds applications within the chemical industry, among others.
