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.

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. |
