Abstract

A process for stabilizing manganese ions in aqueous solutions is disclosed. The process comprises adding to an aqueous solution containing maganese ions a polymer or copolymer of unsaturated carboxylic compounds such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, polyacrylic acid and maleic anhydride and an orthophosphate. The ratio of polymer to orthophosphate is preferrably about 2 to 1.
