Solution
The MnO2 is fused with potassium hydroxide and heated in air or with another source of oxygen, like potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate. This process gives potassium manganate.
2MnO2+4KOH+O2→2K2MnO4+2H2O
The potassium manganate is then be converted into permanganate by electrolytic oxidation in alkaline media:
