METHOD FOR REGENERATING ABRASIVE SLURRY

An object of the present invention is to provide an abrasive slurry regeneration method capable of efficiently regenerating an abrasive slurry having a high polishing rate. The abrasive slurry regeneration method is an abrasive slurry regeneration method for polishing a polishing target containing silicon oxide as a main component using an abrasive slurry containing abrasive particles and a plurality of kinds of additives and then regenerating a collected abrasive slurry collected, characterized by including a regeneration step of collecting an additive having a molecular weight of 500 or more and an additive adsorbed by the abrasive particles among additives contained in the collected abrasive slurry together with the abrasive particles while an abrasive concentration (% by mass) is maintained within a range of 0.2 to 3000% with respect to an abrasive concentration (% by mass) of an unused abrasive slurry when being used for polishing a polishing target.
