RO won't work with Tin.  Tin will plug it immediately.  Buy a very small test
module first to try.  You will need to remove ALL of the Tin before it hits the RO.
 Tin is a big problem for microfiltration systems also.  It is very hard to keep Tin
in solution and the precipitated Tin plugs the membrane pores.  RO's work best
with VERY clean water.  5 micron filter first.  Then make sure the maximum
solubility of all of the ions entering will not be exceeded when the recovery ratio
is maximized.

Segregate tin and recycle the rest less photoresist.

See www.remco.com/pcb  for recycling info for PCB shops.

Good luck,
