Manganites are the salts of manganous acid (H2MnO3). They are almost insoluble in water and are easily hydrolysed.

This subheading includes copper manganite (CuMnO3) which is used in gas-masks to oxidize carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and copper bis(hydrogenmanganite) (Cu(HMnO3)2), which is even more effective.

In addition to the manganates listed in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 2841, (3), (a), this subheading also covers manganates in which manganese is pentavalent, for example, Na3MnO4·10H2O.
