The results of an investigation on the production of glass-ceramic materials from various combinations of Latvian inorganic industrial wastes and metallurgical iron containing waters are reported. The sintering capability of steel cooling refuse in fine powder form, a residue containing high concentration of iron, was also investigated. The optimisation of the sintering behaviour of mixtures made from the mentioned wastes with clay addition,s as well as the powdered steel cooling refuse, was carried out in the temperature range from 980-1300 deg C. The thermal behaviour, mineralogical and chemical composition, and microstructural characteristics of sintered products were determined.
