This article discusses the effect of electrolysis parameters on the particle size and morphology of the tin powder synthesized by the electrolytic method. The electrolytic method is simple and can eliminate the risk of lead and arsenic gas emissions owing to the low temperature of the process. The effects of tin concentration in a sulfate-based electrolyte, a mass ratio of thiourea/gelatin as additives, current density, and electrolysis time on the particle size and morphology of the synthesized tin powder were examined.

However, many problems still need to be fully understood, especially regarding the effect of minor oxides and residual carbon on the crystallization of slag in coal ash systems.

Hence, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the biohydrometallurgical extraction of Pb from the Indonesian galena concentrate through bioleaching using an iron- and sulfur-oxidizing mixotrophic bacterium (identified as sp.).
