1.3 Synthetic Route

Metastannic acid and potassium hydroxide are neutralized to generate potassium stannate solution, which is precipitated, evaporated and crystallized to obtain products.

The use of potassium stannate
Potassium stannate is mainly used in the electroplating industry to replace silver with tin and nickel with tin-copper alloy. It can not only reduce production costs but also replace sodium with potassium to produce higher cathode efficiency and conductivity and improve the surface brightness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance of plated parts, such as those used in automobile manufacturing, the electronics industry, canned food boxes, Electroplating of RMB, etc. Potassium stannate can also be used as a mordant in the printing and dyeing industry and as a weighting agent in the textile industry. In addition, it is also widely used in the glass ceramic industry and advanced decorative materials.
