Manganese Ferroalloys Technology - ScienceDirect
· Manganese forms several oxides, of which only monoxide (MnO) is stable at high temperatures. The unstable higher oxides MnO 2, Mn 2 O 3, and Mn 3 O 4 predominate in manganese ores. Higher manganese oxides such as Mn 2 O 7 are very unstable and easily decompose even at room temperatures. MnO 2 and Mn 2 O 3 dissociate in solid state to lower …
