Production
Naturally occurring manganese dioxide contains impurities and a considerable amount of manganese in its 3+ oxidation state. Only a limited number of deposits contain the γ modification in purity sufficient for the battery industry. The production of ferrite also requires high purity manganese dioxide. Therefore the production of synthetic manganese dioxide is important. Two groups of methods are used, yielding "chemical manganese dioxide" (CMD) and "electrolytical manganese dioxide" (EMD). The CMD is mostly used for the production of ferrites, whereas EMD is used for the production of batteries.
