Definitions
- the present invention relates to the electrolytic production of manganese dioxide from an electrolyte consisting substantially of a manganese sulfate solution in sulfuric acid.
- FIGS. 1 through 4 of the drawing show diagrammatically the influence of the various components on the characteristics of the manganese dioxide.
- Manganese dioxide is precipitated from all these s olutions in the form of its 'y-modication which has a more or less distinct X-ray crystalline structure. If use is made of a temperature higher than about 80 C. in combination with a current density of less than 1-2 amperes per square decimeter and in further combination with an acid concentration of less than about 100 grams/liter, then ⁇ ,f-manganese dioxide is precipitated in compact hard form on the anodes.
- Electrolytically precipitated 'y-manganese dioxide has more particularly been found to have a high density and to enable the construction of monocells of high ampere-hour capacity.
- Critical evaluation factors for this are inter alia the modiiication which the terminal potential undergoes as time goes on under high or low, mostly intermittent power load, and the maximum number of effective ampere hours.
- Depolarization masses are normally produced from a plurality of various grades of manganese dioxide as merely one manganese dioxide representative is scarcely able to satisfy the wide variety of requirements.
- Naturally-occurring material or chemically prepared a-manganese dioxide may also be used to this effect.
- the present invention now provides a process for making electrolytic manganese dioxide (briefly termed EMD hereinafter), which consists wholly or partially of a-modication, the eventual balance being 'yf-modification, and is precipitated in compact form on a suitable anode, in a manner similar to customary 'y-electrolytic manganese dioxide.
- EMD electrolytic manganese dioxide
- the anodic oxidation of manganese sulfate solutions in sulfuric acid has unexpectedly been found to result in the formation of manganese dioxide consisting of a-modification, or presenting the aand fy-modifications in a predetermined ratio, provided that use is made of an electrolyte having a certain concentration of potassium ions and sulfuric acid therein.
- the present invention relates more particularly to the production of manganese dioxide of which between 5 and percent is a-modication of Mn02, the balance being f-modification of Mn02, which comprises making the said manganese dioxide by using an electrolyte containing potassium ions in a concentration of 1 gram/liter up to the saturation concentration, preferably between 4 and 40 grams/liter, and free sulfuric acid in a concentration of between 20 ⁇ and 150 ⁇ grams/liter, preferably between 60 and 90 grams/liter, the said concentrations being maintained during electrolysis.
- the saturation concentration of the electrolyte for potassium ions is a function of the temperature. It is about grams/liter at 95 C.
- the a-modication is formed during the electrolysis, conditional upon the incorporation of potassium ions into the manganese dioxide lattice. Conditional upon the extent to which potassium ions are incorporated thereinto, there is obtained a final product of which the X-ray diagram shows the reflexes of either the 'yf-modification or -modication, or the reflexes of the two modifications together (cf. FIG. 1 of the accompanying diagrams).
- the int-modification component in the overall electrolytic mangenese dioxid is approximately proportional to the potassium concentration in the manganese dioxide, as has been established by the quantitative evaluation of a series of tests (cf. FIG. 2 of the accompanying diagrams).
- These ogy-electrolytic manganese dioxides may be made with the use of electrolytes, such as those commonly employed in the commercial production of ly-electrolytic manganese dioxide. These electrolytes often contain manganese sulfate and sulfuric acid together with considerable proportions of mangesium sulfate (c g. 60 grams/liter) and calcium sulfate (c g. 2 grams/liter) as well as minor porportious of contaminants. Ammonium ions may also be present therein.
- the manganese dioxides made by the process of the present invention which contain predetermined proportions of a-modication, are suitable for use as depolarization masses in galvanic primary cells, and offer beneficial effects over depolarization masses made of pure 'y-manganese dioxide, especially in the event of high current intensity discharges.
- a-component By the appropriate selection of the a-component it is possible to provide an optimum combination of various beneficial properties.
- a cell made by the paper-lined system with the use of electrolytic ymanganese dioxide was found after 130 hours discharge time through 130 ohms to have a voltage of 1 volt, while the same cell, save that it was made with the use of acq-manganese dioxide with about 50% a-component, had a voltage of 1.3 volts, under identical conditions. Intermittent discharge through 5 ohms showed that a cell made with the use of gy-manganese dioxide enable substantially 20 percent more current to be taken therefrom until the test limit was reached, than a comparative cell made wih the use of pure 'y-manganese dioxide.
- a paperlined cell is a cell in which the bobbin together with the depolarizer mass is enveloped in paper.
- EXAMPLE 1 An electrolyte containing, per liter, 40 grams of Mn in the form of manganese sulfate, 72 grams of H280.,g and '18 grams of K in the form of potassium sulfate was subjected to electrolysis in an electrolytic cell suitable for compact lprecipitation of electrolytic manganese dioxide, at temperatures of between 95 and 98 C. and a current density of about 1 ampere per square decimeter. Electrolytic manganese dioxide, which contained 1.9% of potassium, substantially 50% of tat-modification and 50% 'y-modication, was found to precipitate in compact form.
- EXAMPLE 2 The electrolyte contained, per liter, 30 grams of Mn in the form of manganese-II-sulfate, 8 grams of Mg in the form of mangesium sulate, 0.5 gram Ca in the form of calcium sulfate, 24 grams of K in the form of potassium sulfate and 85 grams of sulfuric acid. lIt was subjected to electrolysis at 95 C. and a current density of about 1 ampere per square decimeter. Manganese dioxide, which contained 3.3% of potassium and 90% of a-modication, was found to precipitate in compact form on the anode.
- EXAMPLE 3 An electrolyte containing, per liter, 40 grams of manganese, 8 grams of magnesium, 0.5 gram of calcium and 12 grams of potassiumin the form of sulfates-and grams of sulfuric acid was subjected to electrolysis at 80 C. and a current density of substantially 1 ampere per square decimeter. Manganese dioxide, which contained 1.6% of potassium and 45% 0f a-rnodication, was found to precipitate.
- a process for the electrolytic production of manganese dioxide from an electrolyte substantially consisting of manganese-II-sulfate solutions in sulfuric acid which comprises using an electrolyte containing potassium ions in a concentration of 1 gram/liter up to the saturation concentration and free sulfuric acid in a concentration of between 20 and 150 grams/liter and maintainig these concentrations during electrolysis with the resultant formation of manganese dioxide of which between 5 and 100% is iat-modification of MnO2, the balance being fy-modication.
- the electrolyte contains as a further constituent as least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of compounds of barium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and ammonium.
