Recovering Tin and Lead from solder wire 

Now, if this guy could show us how to separate Lead from Zinc, he would have a very popular video!

I have to say this is perhaps the most interesting recovery channel, it is genuine not copying others and practical. I wish you remain on that line.

I understood some of the words he said

Oh boy, I am pharmacist, so I know something about chemistry, but I never worked with metals in such way. Just very basic recovery and exploring cupelation (I bought micro furnace, cupels, extra pure lead, bismuth...). Also I bought basic things for silver electropurification (AgNO3, DC power suply...). I have to learn a lot...

@Picky Plans I think I know a way to do a better separation and purification of both lead and tin from solder. After dissolving the solder in the mixture of hydrochloric acid with either nitric acid or hydrogen peroxide, you can prepare a solution of sodium polysulfide by heating sulfur with a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide (the solution will go from yellow to orange or even dark red depending on the reaction time and the polysulfides present). After the tin and lead solution has cooled down to room temperature dilute it with water or neutralize some of the excess acid with sodium hydroxide until it is just mildly acidic, and then add enough sodium polysulfide solution until the solution is yellow, orange or red indicating that there´s polysulfide in excess. In this step we´re precipitating the lead as black lead(II) sulfide while the tin is converted into soluble sodium thiostannate(IV) which allows us to separate them by filtration. After filtering and washing with water, wash the lead(II) sulfide with ethanol the help it dry faster. As for the filtrate, just treat it with dilute hydrochloric acid to precipitate the tin as yellow tin(IV) sulfide (it will also precipitate some sulfur which will be mixed with it, but probably can be separated by dissolving the sulfur in some xylenes), but be careful as the reaction will also release hydrogen sulfide which is pretty poisonous and stinks like rotten eggs. The lead(II) sulfide can be converted into lead(IV) oxide a.k.a. lead dioxide by oxidizing into white lead(II) sulfate with hydrogen peroxide and then dissolving it with sodium hydroxide to form soluble a soluble complex which can be turned into insoluble lead dioxide by adding sodium hypochlorite and probably heating to help the reaction.

Or you can just electrolyze the shit out of a chunkier bar of solder in some sulfuric acid. Tin leaches out when you crank up the current and plates out. Pb stays behind as PbO2. It even stayed together for me and i basically have a rod of PbO2. Well, some tin will stay behind in there and there's a metal core, but yeah, that's the lazy way lol. I got some 20g of tin like that over a few days. It looked like your spongy tin at 8:23, with spikes on the bottom. I burnt most of it trying to melt it in air, like you at 12:00, it's just too powdery. A crucible with a lid and flux help to keep the air out while melting.

please do an experiment to recover silver in tin 96% tin 3% silver by electrolysis.

Is the decanted solution a pure enough form of stannous chloride to use for testing for Gold in solution? I need stannous chloride and have no use for the lead

@Picky Plans The reaction between tin and nitric acid doesn´t produce any tin nitrate but instead it forms tin dioxide a.k.a. tin(IV) oxide. The correct reaction is: Sn + 4 HNO3 = SnO2 + 4 NO2 + 2 H2O

Great 👍 Please make a video about palladium and platinum and Rhodium recovery there is so less video and weak info about it I wish you do it 😉

Always 👍👍👍👍👍👍1000

Can to tell me how to purify tin metal??

Lead compounds are not soluble except nitrate. You should melt down the wire and pore it on something cold this will seperate tin from lead ~

❤️👍

سلام مهندس ممنون از فلیم های اموزنده وخوب شما مهندس ترجمه فارسی هم ناقص وهم بعضی جاها اشتباه شده در اخر در دو بشر کریستال تولید کردید ودر گفتید مال سولفات اهن است پس کریستال های قلع کجا رفت ممنون میشم کمی روش کنی ما رو از اول مثلا چربی اهن چی است اسید استیک رو چرا استفاده کردی

Can you tell me how to make Sn+4 from Sn-Pb alloy?

hello, would you be able to recover the tin from tin nitrate? Tradução em tempo real
