Application. Î±-Pinene was used as standard in headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatographic analysis of volatile compounds in virgin olive oils 1. It was used in the synthesis of cesium-doped heteropolyacid having potential application in biodiesel synthesis 2.
Perhaps the most important commercial use of these compounds is manganese dioxide (MnO 2). Manganese dioxide is used to make dry-cell batteries. These batteries are used in electronic equipment, flashlights, and pagers. Dry cell batteries hold a black pasty substance containing manganese dioxide.
