In slicing a crystal bar into silicon wafers, an average about 40% of silicon would be loss due to the widths of slicing wires themselves. The fact that the silicon slurry is discarded as sludge or discarded after recovering silicon carbide particles causes a large waste of cost. If the silicon slurry (40% of silicon) could be recovered as the raw material for growing silicon crystal bars, the production cost would be lowered. The recovery method of silicon slurry according to the present invention could effectively obtain silicon raw material after removing impurities, which could recover the raw material used in solar crystals, further capable of increasing the silicon crystal production and lowering the cost.

Recovery method of silicon slurry

A method for manufacturing a metal nanoparticle is provided. The method includes steps of: a) providing a metal salt solution, b) providing a reducing agent, c) providing a protecting agent, d) providing an alkaline solution, e) mixing the salt solution, the reducing agent, the protecting agent and the alkaline solution to form a slurry within a high-gravity field, and f) separating the metal nanoparticle from the slurry.
