Feedstock for Tin(II) Chloride

The manufacturing of Tin(II) Chloride involves chlorination of tin metal, and the major feedstock used in its synthesis are tin metal and hydrochloric acid. The changes in prices and availability of this first line of raw materials affect the production of Tin(II) Chloride.

The sourcing of tin metal is affected by its demand in downstream industries like the electronics and automotive sectors. The supply constraints because of limited global tin supply as major producing regions lack new mining projects affect its price and availability. The growing trend for sustainable sourcing practices and compliance with strict regulations also affects sourcing. Economic influences such as price volatility and working capital constraints further complicate procurement efforts. Advanced technology, along with recycling initiatives and an improved supply chain, further impacts its industrial procurement.

The procurement of hydrochloric acid is influenced by several factors. The production method includes chlorine and hydrogen as raw materials, and the availability of these compounds affects the sourcing of hydrochloric acid. The prices of raw materials, labor expenses, and transportation costs directly impact its procurement. The changes in supply and demand and regional price variations further affect its price availability. Also, regulatory compliance is important because of the hazardous nature of hydrochloric acid, which adds extra costs to its production, handling, and transportation.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Tin(II) Chloride manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Tin(II) Chloride manufacturing.

• By Chlorination: The feedstock for this process includes tin metal and hydrochloric acid.

The production of Tin(II) Chloride involves the chlorination of tin metal. In this process, tin metal is reacted with hydrochloric acid, forming Tin(II) Chloride and hydrogen gas as a byproduct. The reaction takes place under controlled conditions for the complete conversion of tin to stannous chloride. After this, the product is purified through crystallization to get pure Tin(II) Chloride as the final product.
 

Properties of Tin(II) Chloride

Tin(II) Chloride has a molecular formula of SnCl2 and a molecular weight of 189.60 g/mol. It has a density of 3.95 g/cm³ with a melting point of 247 °C and a boiling point of 623 °C. It is highly soluble in water and goes through hydrolysis to form basic salts and hydrochloric acid. It works as a reducing agent and converts into tin (IV) chloride when it reacts with oxidizers. It needs to be handled carefully because of its toxic nature that causes irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in dye manufacturing, textile dyeing, tin-plating processes, etc.
