Mangan 25Mn54.938


1774 von J.G. Grahn in Stockholm, Schweden, dargestellt.

[Lateinisch, magnes = Magnet]

French: manganése
English: manganese
Italian: manganese
Spanish: manganeso


Beschreibung: Hartes, sprödes, silberfarbenes Metall. In unreinem Zustand reaktionsfähig, verbrennt in Sauerstoff. In Luft erfolgt Oxidation der Oberfläche; reagiert mit Wasser, löst sich in verdünnten Säuren. Verwendung: bei der Stahlherstellung; als Zusatz im Tierfutter und in Düngemitteln; für Keramiken.

Biological data

 

Biological role: Essential to all species.
Toxicity
Toxic intake: slightly toxic by ingestion
Lethal intake: LD50 (chloride, oral, mouse) = 1715 mg Kg-1
Hazards: Few poisonings have been caused by ingesting manganese compounds, but exposure to dust or fumes is a health hazard and working conditions should not exceed 5mg m-3 even for short periods. Its compounds are experimentalcarcinogens and teratogens.
Level in humans n.a. but very low
Blood: 0.0016 - 0.075 mg dm-3
Bone: 0.2 - 100 ppm
Liver: 3.6 - 9.6 ppm
Muscle: 0.2 - 2.3 ppm
Daily dietary intake: 0.4 - 10 mg 
Total mass of element in average
[70 kg] person:

12 mg
