The invention discloses a high-efficiency and high-
recovery-rate method for recovering industrial
tin powder. The high-efficiency and high-
recovery-rate method for recovering the industrial
tin powder comprises the steps of pretreatment,
smelting and aftertreatment and specifically comprises the steps that the
tin powder to be recovered is screened till the grain diameters are smaller than 200 micrometers; the tin powder to be recovered is loaded to a
crucible, the
crucible is put into an airtight
microwave heating cavity, and then, under the protective gas,
microwave smelting is carried out to obtain a material a; and the material a is cast into a final product, namely metallic tin or a tin
alloy ingot. According to the high-efficiency and high-
recovery-rate method for recovering the industrial tin powder, rapid
smelting of the metallic tin powder and tin
alloy powder can be achieved through
microwave heating, and the method has the characteristics of high heating speed and
high heat efficiency; by adjusting the
microwave power, the metallic tin powder can be melted within 8-15 minutes; compared with a traditional method, the method has the beneficial effects that the smelting time is shortened by 10 times or above, the
heating efficiency can be improved by 5 times, and the
energy consumption can be reduced by about 80 %; smelting is carried out under the condition of
nitrogen,
argon or
mixed gas protection, the technological process is simple, operation is easy, the production cost is low, safety is achieved, no
pollution is caused, and the performance of the cast
ingot is relatively excellent.
