Therefore, it is difficult to treat these ore and abrasive waste liquid by the same method to obtain a rare earth oxide. Thus, it is very costly and of no practical utility to recover rare earth oxides having a high quality from an abrasive waste liquid, which rare earth oxides are capable of being reused as an abrasive for polishing with high precision.
