I've got some tin tetrachloride which was originally in an anhydrous state but has absorbed a fair amount of moisture. As a result the crystals have become sticky and clumped together resulting in hard impacted lumps.

How would I go about processing it to revive it to its original form as it was when it was sold?

If Sncl4 gets wet it willbe form SnO2. So there is no way back. The only thing could be do do a destillation in vaccum to get rid off the tinoxides.
