The invention provides a method and 
system for treating 
solid waste through a 
smelting reduction process. The method comprises the following steps of mixing and batching iron-containing 
solid waste to prepare an iron-containing material; preheating and pre-oxidizing the iron-containing material; spraying the preheated and pre-oxidized iron-containing material into an oxidation-reduction furnace by taking 
compressed air as carrier gas; spraying carbon-containing 
solid waste into the oxidation-reduction furnace by taking recycled 
coal gas as carrier gas, and reacting the carbon-containing solid waste with the iron-containing material to generate molten iron, 
carbon monoxide and furnace 
slag; and spraying high-temperature 
oxygen into the oxidation-reduction furnace, carrying out a secondary 
combustion reaction on the high-temperature 
oxygen and combustible components in ascending gas flow, and recycling 
coal gas generated by the secondary 
combustion reaction and 
coal gas which does not participate in the secondary 
combustion reaction. According to the method, traditional fuel, 
lime, 
dolomite and other fluxing agents do not need to be added, 
compressed air and recycled 
coal gas are adopted as carrier gas to convey materials, high-temperature 
oxygen is adopted as a combustion improver, and solid 
waste recycling and large-scale comprehensive utilization are achieved.
