METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MOLTEN IRON

The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing molten irons and a method for manufacturing molten iron using the same. The method for manufacturing molten irons according to the present invention includes reducing first iron ores by charging the first iron ores into a fluidized-bed reduction reactor; manufacturing compacted irons by compacting the reduced first iron ores; reducing second iron ores together with the compacted irons by charging the second iron ores and the compacted irons into a packed-bed reduction reactor, a size of the second iron ores is greater than a size of the first iron ores; charging the reduced compacted irons and the second iron ores into a melter-gasifier connected to the packed-bed reduction reactor; preparing lumped carbonaceous materials as a heating source for melting the reduced compacted irons and the second iron ores; charging the lumped carbonaceous materials into the melter- gasifier and then forming a coal packed-bed; and injecting oxygen through a tuyere installed in the melter-gasifier and then manufacturing molten iron from the compacted irons and the second iron ores.
