Manganese sulphate is primarily used in the agricultural sector as a soil additive, especially in situations when high rates of phosphate fertiliser are used in the soil. It is also a precursor to EMM, EMD and many other chemical compounds. EMD and EMM are both used in the production of rechargeable EV batteries in association with lithium, cobalt and nickel.

The Battery Hub project now has the potential to be a significant source of two of the main cathode materials used in rechargeable batteries – electrolytic manganese and cobalt.
