Mn3O4was prepared with the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. A MnSO4solution was obtained by the leaching and purifying of low-grade rhodochrosite ore (LGRO), which was used as raw material. The preparation procedures were studied and promoted. The results showed that the Mn3O4with the highest purity and highest specific surface area could be obtained under the following processes. An MnSO4solution of 1.0 mol/L was added into a beaker under a flow rate of 30 mL/h. The pH of the reaction solution was adjusted to 10 using NH3·H2O at 80 °C. Then the solids were wash...
