Tin is found naturally in several minerals but only cassiterite (SnO 2) is of commercial importance. As the reduction of tin oxides is comparatively easy, tin is primarily extracted from the ore by pyrometallurgical reduction processes which involve smelting the ore, after concentrating the tin moety physically utilizing the high density of ...

(Slide 7, 8) Smelting is the most common of pyrometallurgical operations. Reduction smelting is carried out for oxides. During the smelting, metal compound (e.g. oxide of metal) is reduced to metallic form, and the undesirable impurities (gangue) combine with flux to form slag.

Cassiterite - Mineral Properties - Used as an Ore of Tin. Cassiterite is a tin oxide mineral with a chemical composition of SnO 2. It is the most important source of tin, and most of the world's supply of tin is obtained by mining cassiterite. Small amounts of primary cassiterite are found in igneous and metamorphic rocks throughout the world.

Pyrometallurgy Basic Principle. The basic premise of most pyrometallurgical operations is simple: high-temperature chemistry is employed to segregate valuable metals in one phase while rejecting gangue and impurities in another phase. In most instances, both phases are molten (such as the matte and slag in a conventional copper smelting operation).

In most instances, both phases are molten (such as the matte and slag in a conventional copper smelting operation). The gas phase may also be used to advantage, either as a means of separating valuable volatile constituents or for removing unwanted volatile impurities. These separation techniques form the basis of thermal smelting and refining operations.
