Does anyone know how to extract lead and tin from solder? Maybe using copper acetate to dissolve the lead? Thanks in advance.rockyit98 - 7-1-2021 at 00:27
NO! don't even think about it. it's one thing to handle solder and death wish to play with PB solutions. just get Tin from pewter.

modern pewter is mostly tin, with a few percent copper, antimony and/or other,
but original/antique pewter contained about 30% lead,
so check before using.
99.9% tin ingots are not too expensive via eBay etc.B(a)P - 7-1-2021 at 00:51

Don't eat Pb solutions and don't breath the aerosols, you will be fine.
You can easily buy 60/40 Sn/Pb solder, when you dissolve this in nitric acid you get lead nitrate and SnO2. The nitrate will be dissolved and the
oxide will be a white solid which you can filter.TriiodideFrog - 8-1-2021 at 03:17
