Abstract
Methods of preparing stannous oxide including neutralizing a solution of divalent tin ions in a mineral acid using a weak base, followed by heating the neutralized solution optionally under an inert atmosphere are provided. The stannous oxide particles produced are readily soluble in alkyl sulfonic acids.
Claims10
A method of manufacturing a plurality of stannous oxide particles comprising:
- a) providing an acidic composition comprising divalent tin ions and mineral acid;
- b) contacting the acidic composition with a base having a pKa value of 4.75 to 15 to form an alkaline composition having a pH of 8.5 to 12;
- and
- c) heating the alkaline composition to a temperature of ≧70° C. for a period of time sufficient to form a plurality of stannous oxide particles.
