Manganese Sulphate (MnSO₄)

Manganese Sulphate (MnSO₄·H₂O, 31-32% Mn) is a dual-use chemical serving both as a micronutrient fertilizer and as a critical precursor for battery cathode materials. In agriculture, manganese deficiency causes interveinal chlorosis, reduced photosynthesis, and significant yield losses in cereals, soybeans, and potatoes. In the battery sector, high-purity MnSO₄ is essential for NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) cathode precursor synthesis. Dongkwang Poland supplies agricultural-grade and battery-grade manganese sulphate, bridging the traditional agricultural and emerging energy transition markets.

In soil, MnSO₄ dissolves to release Mn²⁺ ions, which are absorbed by roots and incorporated into the oxygen-evolving complex of Photosystem II — without manganese, photosynthesis cannot split water molecules. Mn also activates superoxide dismutase (SOD) for oxidative stress defence. In battery manufacturing, MnSO₄ is co-precipitated with NiSO₄ and CoSO₄ to form the NMC hydroxide precursor, which is then lithiated to produce cathode active material.

Ideal For

Store in dry conditions. Mildly irritant — use gloves and dust mask. Non-hazardous for transport. Shelf life: 36 months. Battery-grade requires contamination-free storage — segregate from other chemicals. Agricultural grade can be stored with standard fertilizer precautions.
