15,019. Gould, R. H. Aug. 22. Primary batteries; waste, utilization of.-Relates to a process for recovering tin &c. from scrap, and also for generating electrical energy. The tin scrap is made an electrode in a vessel containing brine or the like, the other electrode being made of carbon or the like. The tin partly dissolves, forming tin chloride, and is in part precipitated. At the same time an electric current is generated, and may be suitably utilized.
