Abstrakt: TG and DTA curves ofγ-MnO2 have been obtained in nitrogen, air and oxygen. The reactions MnO2→Mn2O3 and Mn2O3→ Mn3O4 were observed in the ranges 450° to 600° and 750° to 1100° respectively, and the decomposition temperatures are affected by the partial pressure of oxygen. The endotherm at ∼1200° is unaffected by the atmosphere and is not accompanied by weight loss. It is, therefore, due to a polymorphic transformation of Mn3O4 rather than formation of MnO. Reaction to form MnO was observed by TG in nitrogen above 1400°, but did not occur on heating in oxygen to 1500°.
