He sends down out of heaven water, and the wadis flow each in its measure, and the torrent
carries a swelling scum; and out of that over which they kindle fire, being desirous of
ornament or ware, out of that rises a scum the like of it. So God strikes both the true and the
false. As for the scum, it vanishes as jetsam, and what profits men abides in the earth. Even so
God strikes His similitudes..
 STATE OF THE ART

Increased Oxidation occurs with both on Casiterite Bangka can be

 Problems
Hypothesis

How is the influence of High temperature and a long

temperature and time against time can produce
the decomposition process. good alkaline decomposition.

How are the results Purity of SnO2 formed can

of purity against the formation achieve 99.99%
of kasiterit minerals of SnO2
 Purposes
Benefit

To find out the influence of variations The research is expected to give a

of temperature and time for the sake role in the development of added
of generating the decomposition of value to produce SnO2 in order to
of cassiterite minerals with KOH. improve welfare

To increase the value of the levels of Can participate in saving foreign

SnO2 up until 99.99%. exchange the country due to the
purchase of pure SnO2.
