Manganese(II) carbonate to give water-soluble salts. Manganese carbonate decomposes with release of carbon dioxide, i.e. calcining, at 200 °C to give MnO: This method is sometimes employed in the production of manganese dioxide, which is used in dry-cell batteries and for ferrites. Manganese carbonate is widely used as an additive to plant fertilizers to cure manganese deficient crops. It is also used in health foods, in ceramics as a glaze colorant and flux, and in concrete stains. It is used in medicine as a hematinic.
