Chemical Tin Recovery

[sourdoughjoe]

Is ther any process to recover TIN (Sn) from expired/out of date staneous chloride solutions?

why, tin is so cheap, even if you got an oxide or hydoxide what would you use it for?

Thanks...You're probably right! Just thought I could save some money. Any advice on getting cheaper Tin (Sn). I had to buy mine off eBaY and I would like to keep more costs down. Thanks again...Joe!

Buy solder 95/5 tin/antimoney mix. Thats what I use. I bought it at a welding supply house a few months ago. Paid $5 for a 1Lb roll :lol: enough for years of fun testing solutions.

Does the antimony pose any problem in the staneous chloride testing solution? Thanks for your response...Joe!

No antimony is just the insoluble black powder in bottom of the bottle.

Weeeell, the truth of the matter, tin is almost 3x that of copper!? Yet we seek only the copper, hmmm.
