Abstract

A method, a system, and an apparatus for preparing manganese sulfate are provided. The method comprises introducing materials comprising a first stream, a second stream, and a reductant to a reactor to form a mixture. The first stream comprises a sulfate-containing acid, and the second stream comprises a manganese oxide compound. At least a portion of the mixture is reacted to provide a reactor outlet stream comprising an aqueous portion and an undissolved portion. The method comprises separating at least a portion of the aqueous portion from the undissolved portion in the reactor outlet stream to produce an aqueous stream comprising manganese sulfate and an undissolved stream.
