The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing molten
irons by injecting fine carbonaceous materials into a melter-gasifier and
a method for manufacturing molten irons using the same. The method for
manufacturing molten irons according to the present invention includes
steps of reducing mixtures containing iron ores in a reduction reactor
and converting the mixtures containing iron ores into reduced materials,
preparing lumped carbonaceous materials containing volatile matters as a
heating source for melting the reduced materials, charging the lumped
carbonaceous materials into a dome-shaped upper portion of a
melter-gasifier and forming a coal packed bed, preparing fine
carbonaceous materials containing volatile matters as a heating source
for melting the reduced materials, injecting oxygen and the fine
carbonaceous materials into the coal packed bed through a tuyere
installed in the melter-gasifier, charging the reduced materials into the
melter-gasifier connected to the reduction reactor and manufacturing
molten irons, and supplying reducing gas in the melter-gasifier made from
volatile matters contained both in the lumped carbonaceous materials and
the fine carbonaceous materials to the reduction reactor.
