MANGANESE DIOXIDE OBTAINING METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C22B47/00 C22B3/04 C01G45/02 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: manganese dioxide obtaining method involves dilution of manganese-containing raw material in nitric acid so that solution of manganese nitrates and nitrates of calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium impurities contained in the ore is obtained. Then, thermal decomposition of nitrates in autoclave is performed. Thermal decomposition is performed at constant pressure drop in autoclave, starting from pressure of 0.6 MPa and reducing it to the end of the process to 0.15 MPa. At that, pulp is constantly mixed at thermal decomposition with the mixer rotating at speed of 1-15 rpm and with superimposition of vibration on it with frequency of 20-50 Hz. Method can be implemented at chemical plants provided with pressure autoclaves.

EFFECT: obtaining manganese dioxide of improved quality.
