Tin Recovery from electronic boards

[Chemlab]

If anyone can guide us on recovering tin from PCB boards and SMPS boards, it would be highly beneficial for us. Additionally, the components attached to the boards should be easily segregated for further sale.

We aim to extract tin from the boards while also collecting it for melting into ingots.

Interesting approach.
What are the secondary use for the Tin?
How pure do it need to be?

Hard job to separate and purify tin....although its value per ton is great, if you do not have a buyer, you will end up working for nothing.

As per this writing the price of a metric ton of pure tin is 31579 USD

But who will you sell it to....that is the big question....not just for you, for me as well.

Solder reclaim equipment can be purchased from China. Turn key solutions.

I have about 50 lbs of high Tin content babbit bearing material. What would be the best, most economical method to refine it?

I have no experience refining tin but I would imagine electrolysis could be quite effective?
