Determination of tin in ores by oscillopolarography in the system of H<SUB>2SO4-VitC-NaCl. Its half wave potential appeared at -0.43V(vs SCE) Linear relationship beween the peak current and the concentration of Sn was obtained in the range of 0.25~7.5 mg/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was in the range of 0.5%~6.91%. The detection limit was 0.25 mg/L.
