Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals 

  • Micronutrient Fertilizer (Soil Amendment): Manganese carbonate is used as a source of manganese, an essential trace element for plants. It corrects manganese deficiencies in crops, especially in alkaline soils where manganese availability is low. It improves photosynthesis, enzyme function, and plant growth.

2. Animal Healthcare 

  • Feed Additive (Nutritional Supplement): Used as a dietary supplement in animal feed, Manganese carbonate supplies manganese for bone formation, reproduction, and metabolic enzyme activation in livestock and poultry.

3. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Coloring Agent / Additive: Manganese carbonate is used in the production of ceramics and colored glass. It imparts pink, purple, or brown hues in ceramic glazes and acts as a flux to lower melting points in glaze formulations.
  • Pigment Precursor: It is a precursor for producing manganese dioxide and other manganese compounds used in pigments. These pigments are valued for their stability, tint strength, and corrosion resistance.

4. Energy 

  • Precursor for Manganese Dioxide: Manganese carbonate is thermally decomposed to make manganese dioxide (MnO₂), which is used in dry cell batteries (like alkaline and zinc-carbon types) and electronic components.

5. Performance Chemicals 

  • Intermediate for Other Manganese Salts: It serves as an intermediate in the production of various manganese salts and oxides used in catalysis, water treatment, and metallurgy.
