During the research, rolled scale and gas cleaning slimes from oxygen-converter workshop No. 1 of JSC “EVRAZ ZSMK” were used as iron-oxide-containing materials. Semi-coke from brown coals of the Berezovskoye deposit of the Kansko-Achinsk basin (temperature of semi-coking is 750 °C), coke fines of PJSC “Coke” and dust from coke dry-quenching plant of JSC “EVRAZ ZSMK” were used as carbon reducing agents. Total iron, FeO and Fe2 O 3 oxides amount to 73.3, 75.5 and 20.9 % in scale, 41.2, 4.7 and 53.7 % in sludge, respectively. Sludge also contains 4.3 % of total carbon and 20.6 % of CaO. Brown-coal semi-coke, coke fines and coke dust contains carbon and volatiles 94.05 and 9.5 %, 97.50 and 2.1 %, 97.47 and 1.6 % on dry ashless weight, respectively. For metallization of furnace charges with composition: scale, slime–semi-coke, coke fines, dust with addition of 10 % water-soluble binding–molasses, strong unroasted briquettes were pressed. Metallization modes of analyzed charge compositions were thermodynamically predicted and technologically determined. Metallization degree and metal iron content at usage of brown-coal semi-coke were found to be 97.5 and 90.2 % for scale, 97.5 and 71.3 % for sludge; of coke fines: 70.7 and 61.9 % for scale, 68.9 and 48.4 % for sludge; of coke dust: 72.1 and 62.6 % for scale, 69.2 and 48.2 % for sludge. The possibility of achievement the metallization degree of 97.0 – 98.0 % was established for briquetted charge from scale – brown-coal semi-coke with 92.0 – 93.0 % of total iron, 89.8 – 90.6 % of metallic iron, 2.8 – 3.2 % of FeO, 0.06 – 0.08 % of S, 0.016 – 0.018 % of P, 1.7 – 1.9 % of C, 1.0 – 1.2 % of CaO and 0.25 – 0.35 % of MgO at 1173 K and duration of 40 min.
