The experimental results show that the elements could be deposited on the cathode in turn by different deposition potentials, therefore, the copper and tin were separated by constant-voltage electrolysis but not constant-current electrolysis. In this study, the influence of anode materials was also investigated. Graphite anode is stable without impurities dissolved into the stripping tin solution, while 316 stainless steel anode is dissolved into Fe2？and Fe3？as anodic corrosion, which could decrease the deposition efficiency of tin. The copper and tin in the stripping tin solution are separated orderly by electrodeposition at different voltages using the graphite anode. The recovery rate of copper is up to 100 % at 2.00 V, while that of tin is 80 % at 3.00 V.展开更多
