This study deals with the recycling of the solid waste materials such as iron fines, mill scale, etc. for the efficient use in the blast furnace operations. The recycling of the materials causes improvement in the economic conditions of the industries and environmental conditions of the industrial region and also to make use of the mineral and energy resources. Recycling of these waste materials can be done by certain agglomerating process. In some cases briquetting is the best approach. Brex (briquettes) are prepared from stiff extrusion with iron bearing wastes. These brex has certain advantages over other agglomerates which makes them the efficient charge material for the blast furnace operation
