Like to know how to use HCL when removing tin

[stingray]

I know HCL dissolves tin and make stannous chloride. But the question is can i take tin off from HCL and use HCL again to dissolve more tin. Or must i just discard that stannous chloride.

Keep using it until it stop working. You can also distill off the remaining HCl if you need pure HCl.

Thanks Göran. Can you tell more how to distill. And is that remaining stuff just waste or can i process it somehow

There are a lot of videos and instructions on the net and youtube (watch NileRed and Nurdrage for example) about distilling stuff. It's a standard method in chemistry.

The remainder would be various chloride salts, like tin, led, zinc or iron chloride. The stuff you dissolved from the starting material. If you can't find any usage of it then it's waste. Treat it properly as it probably is contaminated with lead and quite toxic.
