The present disclosure provides a method for selectively extracting and recovering
tin from
tin-containing residue, the method comprising: ball milling the
tin-containing residue,
drying I, to obtain pretreated tin-containing residue; slurryizing the pretreated tin-containing residue with water to obtain slurryized tin-containing residue; mixing the slurryized tin-containing residue with a leaching agent solution, leaching, to obtain a tin-containing leaching solution and a leaching residue; dropping a solution containing a sulfidizing agent into the tin-containing leaching solution, precipitating, to obtain a purified solution and a purified residue; adding a
sulfuric acid solution to the purified solution, reacting, to obtain a stannic acid precipitate and a
mother liquor containing a complexing agent; washing the stannic acid precipitate, and then
drying II, calcining the stannic acid precipitate, to obtain
tin dioxide. In the method of the present disclosure, the tin
leaching rate is greater than or equal to 95%, the complexing agent can be recycled, no high-
salinity wastewater is generated, the process is short, the operation is simple, the cost is low, and the method is suitable for efficient
recovery of tin from high-
impurity and low-grade tin-containing residue.
