The invention discloses a process method and device for reducing stannic
oxide into metallic
tin, and the process method comprises the following steps: establishing at least one electrolytic bath, arranging an
anode and a
cathode in the electrolytic bath, connecting the
anode with the
anode of an electrolytic power supply, and connecting the
cathode with the
cathode of the electrolytic power supply,
tin dioxide and an
electrolyte solution are put into the electrolytic bath, so that the
tin dioxide is in direct contact with the cathode or the metallic tin on the cathode; starting an
electrolysis power supply to carry out
electrolysis operation, and enabling the anodes to be subjected to electrochemical oxidation reaction to dissolve soluble anode
metal or enable insoluble anodes to electrically separate out
chlorine and / or
oxygen; the cathode enables the
tin dioxide in direct contact with the cathode and / or the
tin dioxide in direct contact with the
metal tin on the cathode to be subjected to electrochemical reduction reaction to electrically separate out the
metal tin; and collecting and utilizing the metal tin obtained by electroanalysis and / or a
solid product and / or a solution product of a tin compound obtained by reacting the metal tin with the
electrolyte. According to the invention, the
tin dioxide solid is converted into metallic tin through an electrochemical reduction reaction by utilizing the
conductivity of the tin dioxide
solid, and / or the obtained metallic tin is further converted into a
solid product and / or a solution product of a tin compound by utilizing an
electrolyte.
