Wastes from ferrous metallurgy subjected to a preliminary agglomeration are used as iron containing raw materials in the sintering charge. Material and heat balance calculations are carried out. It is found that sinters of high waste powders and sludge content can be used to give pig iron of low content of sulphur, phosphorus and non ferrous metals. The chemical composition, the yield and the specific energy consumption are found close to the existing standards.enArticle
