Original Abstract Submitted

An abrasive slurry regeneration method includes: collecting at least a used abrasive slurry containing an abrasive component and a constituent component of a polishing target object discharged from a polishing machine; inactivating a metal ion dissolved in the used abrasive slurry; dispersing the abrasive component and the constituent component of the polishing target object contained in the used abrasive slurry; separating the dispersed abrasive component and constituent component of the polishing target object to remove the constituent component of the polishing target object; and preparing a regenerated abrasive slurry containing the abrasive component.
