    The manganese subgroup is the element of group VIIB in the periodic table, including three elements of manganese (Mn), tin (Tc) and rhenium (Re)
    .


    The valence electron structure of the manganese subgroup element is (n-1)d 5 ns 3 , and the highest oxidation state is +7


    Manganese minerals mainly include pyrolusite MnO 2 , black manganese Mn 3 O 4 , bixbyite MnO, rhodochrosite MnCO 3 , and these minerals are all formed by weathering of silicate deposits
    .


    The colloids of weathered products and metal oxides such as iron are washed into the sea, and gather in the sea and compress on the seafloor to form a large number of manganese nodules, generally containing 15% to 30% manganese


    Rhenium appears in trace amounts in molybdenum ore (molybdenite MoS 2 ), and its mass fraction in the crust is only 4×10 -6 %
    .

    Extraction of Manganese

    Pyrolusite is reduced with carbon at high temperature to obtain metallic manganese with low purity
    .

    MnO 2 +2C=Mn+2CO

    Electrolysis of MnSO 4 solution can obtain metallic manganese with a purity of 99.
    9%
    .



    Metal manganese can be prepared from manganese oxides using thermite reaction
    .



    MnO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 are mixed and reduced with carbon at high temperature to obtain Mn-Fe alloy.


    Manganese can increase the hardness of steel


    2.


    The properties of manganese

    Lump manganese is silvery white, and powder manganese is gray
    .


    Manganese is mainly used in the manufacture of alloy steel and "purifying agent" for metal smelting


    The element potential diagram of manganese under acidic conditions is as follows:

    Manganese is relatively active and is a non-passivating metal.


    It reacts with non-oxidizing dilute acid to release hydrogen


    Manganese is similar to magnesium .


    It dissolves in hot water to generate Mn(OH) 2 and releases hydrogen , but it is insoluble in cold water
    .
