An alternative method uses a filter with manganese dioxide.
Therefore the production of synthetic manganese dioxide is important.
A specialized use of manganese dioxide is as oxidant in organic synthesis.
The manganese dioxide wasn't all that valuable anyway, except possibly to me.
It can be made in the laboratory by reacting manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid.
So he is instructed to add some manganese dioxide first.
The last was a piece of black manganese dioxide.
It is used in batteries, although many batteries use artificial manganese dioxide.
By 1876, the wet Leclanché cell was made with a compressed block of manganese dioxide.
In 2002, more than 230,000 tons of manganese dioxide was used for this purpose.
