The article provides a brief overview of technologies and methods for processing dispersed metallic waste generated during ferroalloy production, including high-carbon ferrochrome (HCFeCr). It is noted that the most cost-effective and rational method for reusing metallic dust is briquetting. Considering the development of briquetting technologies, as well as the latest equipment and binder materials involved in this process, aspiration dust from ferrochrome crushing can be fully utilized in metallurgical recycling. To verify this assumption, laboratory studies were conducted using polymer-based binders and liquid glass as a baseline option. The methodology of briquetting using both laboratory and industrial presses is described, along with an assessment of the mechanical properties of the briquettes. The studies indicate that the introduction of an inert filler (gas-cleaning dust) into the metallic dust composition improves the briquetting ability of the mixture by enhancing adhesion between metal particles and the binder. The obtained industrial briquette samples exhibit high mechanical strength, ensuring their further use in metallurgical processing. The study concludes that semi-dry briquetting using hydraulic vibropresses is a promising approach for the utilization of dispersed ferroalloy waste.
