Abstract

An electrolytic manganese dioxide having a composition of MnOx, wherein X is 1.90 to 1.96, an adhesive moisture content of not less than 1.5% by weight as measured according to the procedure specified in JIS, and a content of bound water, eliminative in the temperature range of 120° to 400° C., of not less than 3.0% by weight as measured by gravimetry, a process for preparing the same, and a manganese dry cell comprising a cathode mix comprised of a mixing of the electrolytic manganese dioxide with a conductive acetylene black, preferably a conductive acetylene black having a BET specific surface area of 70 to 2.50 m2 /g, and an electrolyte composed mainly of zinc chloride and/or ammonium chloride. In the process of preparing the electrolytic manganese dioxide, after electrolysis and during or after neutralization, the manganese dioxide is heated in an aqueous solution at 50° to 100° C. for 12 to 48 hours in the presence of an alkaline ammonium compound.
