Abstract: A method for smelting and reducing iron ores comprises the steps of: the step of preheating and prereducing iron ores; the step of charging the preheated and prereduced iron ores into a smelting reduction furnace; the step of charging carbonaceous material and fluxing material into the smelting reduction furnace; the step of blowing in oxygen gas into the smelting reduction furnace through a top-blow oxygen lance having decarbonizing nozzles and post combustion nozzles; and the step of blowing in stirring gas through side and bottom tuyeres set respectively in a side wall and a bottom of the smelting reduction furnace.
