Manganese Carbonate by Obafer Chemicals
Manganese Carbonate (MnCO₃)
Manganese carbonate is a light brown powder used as a source of manganese in agricultural, feed, and industrial applications. It is chemically represented by the formula MnCO₃ and contains approximately 44% manganese (Mn). This compound is water-insoluble but soluble in ethyl alcohol and acetone, making it ideal for specific formulations and processing techniques.
Manganese carbonate plays a vital role in micronutrient delivery systems. It is commonly incorporated into plant nutrition products and animal feed additives due to its bioavailability and efficiency. Additionally, it finds applications in the ceramic and textile industries owing to its pigment and drying properties.
