Abstract
Metallurgical grade silicon was recovered from slurry waste for ingot sawing process by acid leaching and thermal treatment. SiC abrasive was removed by gravity concentration and centrifugation. Metal impurities were removed by the acid leaching using HF/HCl. The remaining SiC was separated by the thermal treatment at $1600^{\circ}C$ in an inert atmosphere by the difference in melting points. The purity of the obtained silicon was found to be around 99.7%.
