Avoid contact with humid air, and prohibit contact with acids, alkalis, halogens, phosphorus, and water.
Soluble in dilute acid, manganese reacts with water in water, and can react with halogen, sulfur, phosphorus, carbon and silicon.
During smelting, manganese vapor forms oxides with oxygen in the air.
There are two forms of cube and quadrangle, and has a complex crystal structure.
Electrolytic metal manganese generally contains more than 99.7% of manganese. Pure electrolytic manganese cannot be processed. It becomes a wrought alloy after adding 1% of nickel.
