The article discusses the recycling of solder dross generated in the electronic component soldering process, using sawdust as an organic reducing agent. The aim is to develop a process that minimizes tin alloy consumption, reducing costs and environmental impacts. Factorial experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of tank temperature and sawdust quantity on the yield of recycled solder. The results indicated that the combination of 265°C and 100g of sawdust provides the best recovery of solder dross.
