Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for treating spent abrasive slurry obtained from cutting a body of a substrate material into wafer-like slices, the slurry comprising a lubricant fluid, unspent abrasive particles and fines, is disclosed, method comprising separating the spent slurry in a first sedimentation step into a solids concentrate comprising unspent abrasive particles and a solids depleted slurry; and subsequently separating the solids depleted slurry by cross-flow filtration into a fines containing fraction and a solids and fines depleted regenerated lubricant fluid.
