Mn3O4 (manganeese oxide)
I know very little about Mn3O4. If anybody knows anything about Mn3O4 please inform me.
Thank you

You can make it by heating MnO2, and you can probably reduce it with aluminum or magnesium to get manganese.

It's black.
It has a density of 4.856 g/cc.
It's also known as hausmannite
It's the subject of a rather open-ended question in this thread.
What do you want to know?

Mn2O3 to MnO2
How would you go about turning Mn2O3 to MnO2?

Well, a strong oxidizer obviously.  Maybe not -- MnO2 occurs naturally, perhaps
Mn2O3 / 3.4 "rusts" to MnO2 (like iron skipping divalence, rusting to Fe2O3 instead).

Is it possible to make permanganates from Mn2O3?

Yes, you could, by dissolving it in a strong alkali to give the manganite, MnO2-; then either applying electrolysis, or adding a strong oxidant like
hyochlorite or chlorine gas or plumbate or bismuthate. This would give Na or K permanganate as the final product.

iv tried getting MnO2 from KMnO4 with electrolysis(at0.6v). its hard to determine though, since the solution is dark dark purple.(and I couldnt see
anything). I dried the solution in a vacuum oven and found a few bits of black powder in the left over KMnO4. I stopped when the computer showed a
drop in amperage. maybe a result of diminishing ions or something covoring the electrodes.
I found an easier way... the classic glycerin and permanganate. one of the products is your black MnO2. Not the best for getting it pure, but its a
way to get MnO2 if your desperate.
