Tin is obtained from cassiterite ore (tin(IV) oxide). This ore is ground and enriched in tin dioxide by flotation. It is then roasted and heated with coke in a reverberatory furnace to obtain the metal.
Stannous (II) chloride is used as a reducing agent.
Ideal for producing window glass. Molten glass is added over molten tin, on which it floats, resulting in a smooth surface (Pilkington process).
Tin salts sprayed on glass are used to produce conductive coatings that are used in luminous panels and in the heating of car windows.
Due to its stability and lack of toxicity, it is used as a metal coating: iron coating (tinplate) for the canning industry. This is done by electrolysis or immersion.
