Lead Tin Vacuum Distillation Unit
The Lead-Tin (Pb-Sn) vacuum distillation unit, also called the Lead-Tin-Antimony metal vacuum distiller unit (Pb-Sn-Sb VDU) and lead-tin alloy separating vacuum distillation furnace (Sn VDF), is all about getting Tin (Sn) out of lead alloy, which is leftover from lead smelting. This whole thing works by using the different boiling points of Sn, Sb, and Pb under different vacuum conditions to get rid of impurities.
When it's under vacuum, the Pb-Sn-Sb VDF makes different metals boil at different points. Inside the Pb-Sn-Sb VDF's graphite tray, the vapors of lead and tin move to different spots, condense, and turn into liquid lead and tin.
The Pb-Sn-Sb VDF runs on electricity for clean heat. When it's doing its vacuum distillation thing, it doesn't let out any gases, which makes it different from regular pyro-metallurgy gear. This furnace is all about being eco-friendly. Plus, it's got a setup to collect arsenic (As) and grab it when there's ≤1% of it. (If there's more than 2% As, you gotta take it out before using the furnace.)
