1. Food Industry

Nutritional Fortification Agents:

– Used in baked goods, non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products, fish products, meat products, and infant formula.

– As a manganese supplement, its usage is generally limited by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), without strict quantitative restrictions.

2. Agriculture and Plant Nutrition

Micronutrient Fertilizers:

– As a component of water-soluble fertilizers, foliar fertilizers, or soil conditioners, supplementing plants with the manganese they need.

– Its chelated form makes it easier for plants to absorb, promoting chlorophyll synthesis and pollen germination, and is claimed to increase crop yields by an average of 15%.

3. Scientific Research

Biochemical Reagents:

– Used in the laboratory as a source of manganese ions for enzymology, metabolism, and other biochemical research.

– Studies have shown that its manganese ions are easily released in acidic environments and can interact with enzymes and proteins.

Materials Science Precursors:

– Used for the synthesis of two-dimensional manganese-based nanomaterials.

– The resulting materials possess unique physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties.

4. Industrial Applications

Chemicals and Catalysts:

– Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, an industrial catalyst carrier, or a metal surface treatment agent.

– Primarily used in industrial production processes.

Water Treatment Agents:

– Used to remove heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater.

– Utilizing its chelating ability.

Textile Auxiliaries:

– As a component of fabric finishing agents to improve antistatic or flame-retardant properties.

– Belongs to special textile finishing applications.
