The invention provides a method for preparing high-purity
stannous oxide that is applicable to the
electronic industry, which comprises the following steps:
tin powder,
chlorine gas and water are synthesized to be stannic
chloride in the environment that is provided with
hydrochloric acid; the stannic
chloride is reduced with equal or more
tin powder to be stannous
chloride; after the
filtration, the concentration of the stannous chloride solution is adjusted, and
antioxidant is added into the stannous chloride solution; finally the stannous chloride solution is slowly dropped into
sodium hydroxide solution; the pH value at the reaction termination is controlled; the filtered precipitate is centrifuged, washed and dried to get
stannous oxide. The stannic chloride is prepared by oxidation and restoration, so that the
copper,
arsenic and stibium contained in the
tin powder can be removed; the ions such as
zinc, iron, lead, and the like are separated from the precipitate of the
stannous oxide through controlling the pH value at the reaction termination of the stannous chloride and the
sodium hydroxide. The method is simple to be operated, and the process parameters are easy to be controlled. The purity of the stannous
oxide that is obtained in the method can reach more than 99 percent, and the content of each
foreign matter is less than 0.001 percent, thereby being applicable to the
electronic industry.
