Abstract: A method of recovering and reproducing a tinning liquid containing Fe ions and other detrimental cations by the steps of removing cations from the tinning liquid by passing the tinning liquid or a diluted liquid of the tinning liquid through a strong-acid cation exchange resin to obtain a recovered acid, thereafter reproducing the strong-acid cation exchange resin and desorbing adsorbed cations into a solution containing an acid by passing the acid through the exchange resin to which the cations have been adsorbed, precipitating and separating Sn ions in the form of a precipitate of an Sn compound from the solution into which the cations have been desorbed while maintaining Fe ions as ions in this solution, mixing and dissolving the precipitate of the Sn compound or a compound reduced from the same in the recovered acid to reproduce and reuse the mixture of the Sn compound and the recovered acid as a tinning liquid, and discharging the solution containing Fe ions out of the system of the tinning liquid.
