Notes that govern this classification
Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) 1) Mangandioxid (Manganigsäureanhydrid) (MnO2) ist das wichtigste Manganoxid. Man stellt es durch Einwirkung einer leicht salpetersauren Kaliumpermanganatlösung auf ein Mangansalz (z. B. Mangansulfat) her. Mangandioxid ist eine braune oder schwärzliche, in Wasser unlösliche Masse oder Pulver (Dichte etwa 5). Es ist ein sehr starkes Oxidationsmittel. Man verwendet es auch in der Pyrotechnik, bei organischen Synthesen (zum Herstellen von Hydroxyanthrachinonen, Aminoanthrachinonen usw.), in Gasmasken, als Depolarisierungsmittel für Batterien, in der Keramikindustrie, bei der Herstellung von Sikkativen, Druckfarben (Manganschwarz), Farben (braune Pigmente, die als Mineralbister und Manganbitumen bekannt sind), bestimmten Kitten und synthetischen Schmucksteinen (künstlicher Granat). …
