    Manganese(II) chloride is dried and mixed with potassium chloride before being packed into a clay crucible. Magnesium is added to the crucible in small pieces as it is heated in a furnace. If done correctly, a manganese regulus will form upon cooling. If the heat was too low, a black powder will form that oxidizes in air. If the metal solidified in crusts, the contents should be ground and filtered to obtain a metallic manganese powder. The magnesium chloride volatilizes, reacting with water vapor to form hydrogen chloride and magnesium oxide while hydrochloric acid is evolved. Manganese is a brittle metal that readily oxidizes when exposed to air or acid.

    Preparation of elemental manganese from manganese(II) chloride and magnesium


    300 g crystallized manganese(II) chloride are gradually dried in a porcelain dish on the gas stove, and
    the pieces which have formed, powdered in a hot mortar and dried until the pale pink-colored powder
    fails to clot and a sample heated in a test-tube shows no moisture. 75 g of the anhydrous
    manganese(II) chloride are thoroughly mixed in a warm condition with 150 g dry potassium chloride
    (the latter must first be heated in a nickel or iron dish until it no longer decrepitates), and the mixture
    packed tight in a clay crucible, 12 cm high and 7 cm wide. The crucible is covered and heated in the
    furnace. When the crucible has become red-hot and the contents are soft, 18 g magnesium in sticks
    are thrown in, in pieces of from 3 to 4 g each, closing the crucible immediately after adding each piece
    and waiting for the faint reaction. Upon cooling, if the operation has proved successful, the manganese
    will be found as a regulus. If, in place of this, only a fine black metallic powder be found which, on
    exposure to air, changes very readily into manganese dioxide, then the heat was too low. If, on the
    other hand, the metal has solidified in crusts and granules, which have not combined to a regulus,
    then the crucible contents are ground, the light particles quickly elutriated with a large quantity of
    water, then filtered, quickly washed with alcohol and ether, dried between filtered paper, and the
    metallic powder so obtained is preserved in well-closed bottles. The magnesium chloride volatilizes
    and reacts with the water-vapor of the gases of combustion to form hydrogen chloride and magnesium
    oxide. During the operation there is a considerable evolution of hydrochloric acid gas. Manganese is
    a brittle, glossy metal, when exposed to the air, especially in a finely divided and moist condition,
    is very easily oxidizable in air and when excess of diluted hydrochloric acid is poured over a sample,
    the metal dissolves clearly with a vigorous evolution of hydrogen.
