| Abstract: | The recycling method and principle of SnO2 from the tin slag of printed circuit boards(PCB) waste were investigated. In this study, pure SnO2 powders were obtained through a multi-step process including ball-milling, roasting, dissolving, precipitating, and pickling. The total recovery rate of tin can be up to 91 %. The SnO2 powders obtained is the single phase, and the content of SnO2 is up to 99.9 %. However, the SnO2 particles are easier to agglomerate during the precipitation process. The agglomerate SnO2 particles are about 7.778 lm in mean particle size(D50). This preparation method presents a viable alternative for the tin slag recycling. The tin is not only recycled, but also reused directly to prepare pure SnO2 powders. |
