However, these known methods are, for example, J. Am.
The method of Chem. Soc., Vol. 43, 1982 (1921) uses a large amount of sulfuric acid and requires a step for neutralizing the sulfuric acid. Therefore, the step is very complicated and a large amount of ammonium sulfate is added. There were problems such as birth. Further, in the known method of oxidizing manganese hydroxide or manganese carbonate to obtain manganese dioxide, decomposition takes a long time at a low temperature and oxidation does not proceed sufficiently, so that at a high temperature manganese dioxide having a large surface area is obtained due to particle growth. There was a defect such as not being. Manganese dioxide is known to take various crystal forms, and the crystal form is one of the determinants of the surface area. That is, control of the crystal form was required to obtain manganese dioxide having a high specific surface area. However, since it is difficult to control the crystal form by the known method, manganese dioxide having a large surface area could not be prepared with good reproducibility. Therefore, there was a problem that the catalyst performance was not satisfactory in practice.

In the present invention, the divalent manganese compound is preferably manganese sulfate, ammonium manganese sulfate, manganese nitrate or manganese chloride. The permanganate used in the present invention is potassium permanganate, sodium permanganate, barium permanganate and the like, and two or more of these permanganates may be used in combination. The molar ratio of the permanganate and the divalent manganese compound is 0.5 to 2.0, preferably 0.6 to 1.5. 0.
If it is less than 5, sufficient oxidation does not occur and manganese dioxide with high activity is not obtained. If it is more than 2.0, the amount of permanganate used is too large, which is uneconomical. When the permanganate is added as a solid to the aqueous solution of the divalent manganese compound, the concentration of the aqueous solution of the divalent manganese compound is 0.5 to 6.0 mol.
The concentration of the aqueous solution of permanganate is preferably 0.5 to 2.0 mol / l when the divalent manganese compound is added as a solid to the aqueous solution of permanganate. The temperature for such oxidation and aging is 20 ° to 15 °
The temperature is 0 ° C, preferably 40 ° to 90 ° C. If it is lower than 20 ° C, the oxidation treatment does not proceed at a sufficient rate, and if it is higher than 150 ° C, it does not become a highly active manganese oxide. The time for such oxidation and aging depends on the temperature, but is usually 0.1 to 48 hours, preferably 0.5 to 24 hours.
