Abstract
An abrasive and a dispersion medium are introduced into a dispersing machine to uniformly disperse the abrasive. The liquid to be processed after dispersion is centrifugally classified by a centrifugal classifier to remove heavy particles which will cause scratches. Chemicals are added to the liquid to be processed after classification to make adjustments on a variety of properties such as the concentration, pH, and the like. The polishing slurry after adjustment for a desired composition is filtered by a filter to remove debris therefrom. The filter may have a mesh size large enough to allow particles of the abrasive to pass therethrough.
Claims8
A method of manufacturing a polishing slurry, comprising the steps of:
- dispersing an abrasive in a liquid to be processed which is a mixture of the abrasive and a dispersion medium;
- classifying the liquid to be processed after said step of dispersing;
- and
- adjusting the liquid to be processed by adding chemicals so that it is in a desired composition after said step of classifying.
