The invention belongs to the field of 
metal smelting, and particularly relates to a method for recycling valuable metals from 
zinc-containing 
tin materials. The method comprises the following steps that 1, the 
zinc-containing 
tin materials and reducing raw 
coal are mixed and added into a 
rotary kiln for 
roasting to obtain 
smoke dust and 
kiln slag; 2, the 
smoke dust is oxidized and leached with 
sulfuric acid and an 
oxidizing agent to obtain 
leachate and leached residues; 3, the 
leachate is carried out purification and 
impurity removal after the 
leachate is subjected to extraction to recycle 
indium and 
germanium, then the leachate is electrolyzed to obtain 
metal zinc, and the leached residues are returned to the 
rotary kiln or a fuming furnace for treatment; 4, the 
kiln slag is subjected toball milling and then is mixed with 
coke to be added into a reduction furnace to be smelted to obtain 
metal crude 
tin and reduced furnace 
slag; and 5, vacuum 
smelting is carried out on the crude tin to obtain fine tin and metal lead, flotation and 
magnetic separation are carried out on the reduced furnace slag, and the 
magnetic separation tailings can be used as raw materials for 
cement production. According to the method, metals such as lead, zinc and 
tin can be efficiently separated and recycled, fewer three wastes are generated, the cost is low, the technological process is short, the device is simple, the adaptability is high, and popularization and application are easy to carry out.
