Indium sells for quite a bit of money, and last I looked real tin goes for over $6 a pound ...
Is there an easy way to remove the Indium-tin oxide from the glass ?
Grind the glass into powder having the consistency of sand which will serve as the silica required in your flux formula to smelt out the indium. The molten mass gets poured into a cone mold where the precious metals settle out on the bottom of the cone after cooling easily separated from the slag.
Occupational exposure to inhaled indium tin oxide can cause
indium lung, an
interstitial lung disease
