description Abrasive–glass polishing waste is generated from the polishing process of glass components by using cerium oxide abrasive, which contains the cerium oxide abrasive and the polished glass. This study attempted to recover the cerium oxide abrasive from the abrasive–glass polishing waste through removing the polished glass by alkaline roasting using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) followed by water leaching. The experimental results indicated that the polished glass in the abrasive–glass polishing waste could be fully removed under the optimal alkaline roasting and water leaching conditions of roasting temperature of 450 °C, mass ratio of polishing waste to NaOH of 1:1, roasting time of 30 min, leaching pH of 3, leaching temperature of 25 °C, and liquid–solid ratio of 25 mL/g. The characteristics including elemental composition, particle size distribution, mineralogical phases, and morphology of the recovered cerium oxide abrasive obtained under the optimal conditions were similar to those of the original unused one, which was suitable to be reused for polishing again.
