Vv. Batrakov et al., KINETICS OF MANGANESE-DIOXIDE DISSOLUTION IN SULFURIC-ACID-SOLUTIONS CONTAINING OXALIC-ACID, Inorganic materials, 34(2), 1998, pp. 149-156
The kinetics of manganese dioxide dissolution were studied in sulfuric
acid solutions containing oxalic acid. The dissolution rate was found
to depend on the concentrations of MnHOx(+) and HOx(-) ions and to pa
ss through a maximum at pH 1.6 +/- 0.2. The rate law and mechanism are
suggested for manganese dioxide dissolution.
