Optimization on the purification of cassiterite from low-grade cassiterite concentrate
Abstract Optimization on the purification of cassiterite from low-grade cassiterite concentrate has been successfully done. The concentrate used came from the mine site in the Delas area, Bangka Island with an element content of Sn was 31.60% wt and the impurity phases including zircon, ilmenite, quartz, hematite, and monazite.

Mineralogy and distribution of critical elements in the Sn–W–Pb–Ag–Zn Huanuni deposit, Bolivia [PDF]
The polymetallic Huanuni deposit, a world-class tin deposit, is part of the Bolivian tin belt. As a likely case for a “mesothermal” or transitional deposit between epithermal and porphyry Sn types (or shallow porphyry Sn), it represents a case that ...

Corrosion of bronzes by extended wetting with single versus mixed acidic pollutants [PDF]
The corrosion of bronzes was examined in the context of single-acid versus mixed-acid (as in urban acid rain) solutions. Two bi-component bronzes (copper with either 3% Sn or 7% Sn) that closely represent those of historic artifacts were immersed for ...
