We are instrumental in offering our clients with different grades of manganese dioxide that is available in powdered, granular powder and granules form. Ranging from 60% Mn02 to 90% Mno2 grades, our manganese dioxide is used as an essential ingredient for manufacturing dry cells and as an iron remover in water treatment plants. Manganese dioxide is also used as a decolorizing agent that removes the greenish tinge in glass, ferro alloys, ceramics, pigments, paints, dyes and organic, inorganic & aromatic chemicals.

Following are the other applications of manganese dioxide:

 

Oxidant	Used as an oxidant in organic synthesis processes
Catalyst	Used as a catalyst in preparation of oxygen from potassium chlorate
Water treatment plants	Used with anthracite, sand, and gravel in industrial water treatment plants for removal of iron content
Steel industry	Used in the production of steel alloys to increase its strength, hardness and durability
Food products	Used for promoting good health as it makes bones strong yet flexible It aids in absorbing Vitamin B1 Acts as an activator for body enzymes
Chemicals	Used for producing chemicals like oxygen & chlorine Used as a micro nutrient in fertilizers & animal feeds

 

Manganese is a mineral found in large quantities in both plant and animal matter. Only trace amounts of this element can be found in human tissue. Manganese is predominantly stored in the bones, liver, kidney, and pancreas.

Manganese is a component of the antioxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Antioxidants scavenge damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. These particles occur naturally in the body but can damage cell membranes, interact with genetic material, and possibly contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health conditions. Antioxidants such as MnSOD can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause

Benefits

• It aids in the formation of connective tissue, bones, blood-clotting factors, and sex hormones and plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation
• Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function.
• Manganese might be helpful for those with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis as well as individuals with premenstrual syndrome.
• Manganese sulfate is used for WATER TREATMENT
• Manganese Sulfate is generally immediately available in most volumes
• Manganese oxide is used in dry cell batteries.
• Manganese is used in steel production to remove sulfur and oxygen
• Manganese is the colorant in natural amethyst stones and is used in glass and ceramics to also create the amethyst color.
• It is used like the element cerium to "decolorize" glass by offsetting the green from impurities of ferric ions.
• Manganese Permanganate is a powerful oxidizing agent and is used in medicine. It is added as a nutritional supplement for both human and animal consumption.

Health Hazards

Manganese deficiencies are considered rare, however, since it is relatively easy to obtain adequate amounts of manganese through the diet. Based on the research made in USA some experts estimate that as many as 37 of Americans do not get the recommended daily amounts of manganese in their diet.

• Low levels of manganese in the body can contribute to infertility, bone malformation, weakness, and seizures
• It can be found in Whole grains refined grains provide half the amount of manganese as whole grains.

Capitalizing on our sophisticated processing techniques, we are offering our clients with a quality proven range of titanium dioxide. Widely used in paint industry, cosmetic industry and rubber industry, our titanium dioxide is helpful in ensuring optical brightness to the final products. Available in two types i.e. Anastase and Rutile, our titanium dioxide is utilized as a pigment for coloring PVC pipes & other plastics. The other uses of titanium dioxide are as follows:

• Titanium dioxide is the most widely used white pigment because of its brightness.

• Used as a white food colouring,

• Titanium dioxide is often used to whiten skimmed milk; this has been shown statistically to increase skim milk's palatability.

• In cosmetic and skin care products, titanium dioxide is used both as a pigment and a thickener. It is also used as a tattoo pigment and styptic pencils

• This pigment is used extensively in plastics and other applications for its UV resistant properties where it acts as a UV absorber, efficiently transforming destructive UV light energy into heat.

• In ceramic glazes titanium dioxide acts as an opacifier and seeds crystal formation

• In almost every sunscreen with a physical blocker, titanium dioxide is found because of its high refractive index, its strong UV light absorbing capabilities and its resistance to discolouration under ultraviolet light. This advantage enhances its stability and ability to protect the skin from ultraviolet light. Sunscreens designed for infants or people with sensitive skin are often based on titanium dioxide.

• Titanium dioxide, particularly in the anatase form, is a photo catalyst under ultraviolet light. Recently it has been found that titanium dioxide, when spiked with nitrogen ions or doped with metal oxide like tungsten trioxide, is also a photo catalyst under visible and UV light. The strong oxidative potential of the positive holes oxidizes water to create hydroxyl radicals. It can also oxidize oxygen or organic materials directly. Titanium dioxide is thus added to paints, cements, windows, tiles, or other products for sterilizing, deodorizing and anti-fouling properties and is also used as a hydrolysis catalyst. It is also used in the Graetzel cell, a type of chemical solar cell.

• TiO₂ offers great potential as an industrial technology for detoxification or remediation of wastewater due to several factors.

• The process occurs under ambient conditions very slowly, direct UV light exposure increases the rate of reaction.
• The formation of photocyclized intermediate products, unlike direct photolysis techniques, is avoided.
• The photocatalyst is inexpensive and has a high turnover.
• TiO2 can be supported on suitable reactor substrates
• Oxidation of the substrates to CO2 is complete.
