Manganese(II) sulfate highly characteristic. Typically, manganese ores are purified by their conversion to manganese(II) sulfate. Treatment of aqueous solutions of the sulfate with sodium carbonate leads to precipitation of manganese carbonate, which can be calcined to give the oxides MnO. In the laboratory, manganese sulfate can be made by treating manganese dioxide with sulfur dioxide: It can also be made by mixing potassium permanganate with sodium bisulfate and hydrogen peroxide. Manganese sulfate is a by-product of various industrially significant oxidations that use manganese dioxide, including the manufacture of hydroquinone and anisaldehyde. Electrolysis of manganese sulfate yields manganese dioxide, which is called EMD
