Of all the carbon-containing coking industry wastes, the one most fully meeting the requirements for briquetting of sponge iron is heavy tar products. These wastes have a good binder capacity, are plentiful, are neutral with regard to sponge iron, and have a relatively low sulfur content. A plant has been modified for the use of the heavy tar products as a binder in the sponge iron briquettes. The capital investment is modest and the briquettes produced are of higher strength and quality than those compacted without a binder. 1 figure, 2 tables.
