Abstract

The method of producing stannous oxide includes: a Sn ion-containing acid solution forming step (S01); a first neutralizing step (S02), which is a step of forming Sn precipitates by adding one or more of alkaline solutions of ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and aqueous ammonia to the Sn ion-containing acid solution to retain pH at 3-6 therein; a Sn precipitate separating step (S03); a Sn precipitate dispersing step (S04), which is a step of dispersing the separated Sn precipitates in a solvent liquid to obtain a dispersion liquid; and a second neutralizing step (S06), which is a step of forming SnO by adding an alkaline solution to the dispersion liquid of the Sn precipitates and then by heating, wherein Na, K, Pb, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Co, In, and Cd reside in the Sn ion-containing acid solution in the first neutralizing step (S02).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of producing stannous oxide comprising:
a Sn ion-containing acid solution forming step, which is a step of preparing a Sn ion-containing acid solution by adding Sn ions to an acid solution;
a first neutralizing step, which is a step of forming Sn precipitates by adding one or more of alkaline solutions of ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and aqueous ammonia to the Sn ion-containing acid solution to retain pH at 3-6 therein;
a Sn precipitate separating step, which is a step of separating the Sn precipitates from the Sn ion-containing acid solution;
a Sn precipitate dispersing step, which is a step of dispersing the separated Sn precipitates in a solvent liquid to obtain a dispersion liquid; and
a second neutralizing step, which is a step of forming SnO from the Sn precipitates by adding an alkaline solution to the dispersion liquid of the Sn precipitates and then by heating, wherein
Na, K, Pb, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Co, In, and Cd reside in the Sn ion-containing acid solution in the first neutralizing step.

2. The method of producing stannous oxide according to claim 1 , further comprising an acid adding step, which is a step of adding hydrochloric acid or citric acid to the dispersion liquid of the Sn precipitates between the Sn precipitate dispersing step and the second neutralizing step.

3. A stannous oxide
wherein each of content amounts of Na, K, Pb, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Co, In, and Cd is 1 ppm or less in weight ratio and
the total amount of Na, K, Pb, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Co, In, and Cd is less than 15 ppm in weight ratio.

4. A method of producing a Sn plating solution used in Sn plating comprising a step of producing the Sn plating solution by dissolving the stannous oxide prepared in the method of producing stannous oxide according to claim 1 in an acid solution.
