Andrea--

Without a P2 option, you or your client may want to check out a number of 
WWW recycling resources that cover metal sludges such as:
Industrial Materials Exchange	
http://www.metrokc.gov/lhwmp/cesqg/imextoc.html
Recycler's World		http://granite.sentex.net/recycle
MetalCorp Group		http://www. recycle.net/recycle/Trade/MetalCorp.html

Some firms of possible interest--
Consolidated Materials Broker (Nashville, TN 615-370-4531)
Eastern Minerals and Chemicals (Lancaster, PA 717-295-4531)
Northeast Industrial Waste Exchange (a non-profit firm, Syracuse, NY 
315-422-6572)

The Thomas Register has entries for "Sludges, Residues, Etc.) and 
"Smelting and Refining Services."

An expert in iron sludge markets is Bob Hedin, Hedin Environmental 
(Pittsburgh, PA 412-571-2204), he used to be at the (now defunct) U.S. 
Bureau of Mines and his interest in the topic is from the perspective of 
what to do with sludges from Acid Mine Drainage abatement (a problem that 
is the opposite of P2).

I haven't looked at this topic for a while (and it was in the AMD 
context)l.  I hope this helps.  Good luck.
