Apparatus for manufacturing molten iron by using calcination furnace, and manufacturing method therefor
 An apparatus for manufacturing molten iron by using a calcination furnace, and a manufacturing method therefor are disclosed. A high temperature reducing gas (1000 to 1100.degree. C.) from a melter gasifier is used as a calcination heat in a calcination furnace so as to cool the high temperature reducing gas to the optimum reduction temperature (800 to 850.degree. C.), and so as to supply the cooled reducing gas to a shaft furnace, whereby the manufacture of the molten iron can be efficiently carried out, and a high thermal efficiency is realized even without a separate gas cooling device. Therefore, a separate cooling device for cooling the hot reducing gas of the melter gasifier is not required. Further, the hot reducing gas is naturally cooled at the calcination furnace, and therefore, the thermal efficiency of the hot reducing gas of the melter gasifier is maximized. Further, a separate water-using cooler and a separate compressor are omitted, and therefore, the molten iron manufacturing facility is simplified.
