The invention relates to a novel energy-saving and environment-friendly method for making iron and making an iron 
alloy by using a lamp-shaped furnace. Large-air hole pressure-proof type ore is loaded from the top of the furnace by using the lamp-shaped furnace with a small furnace 
hearth and a hot furnace core, 
coal oxygen or 
coal power is jetted from the furnace 
hearth, high-temperature reduction gas is generated and rises to reduce the type ore, reduced furnace gas is combusted again to preheat the descended type ore, and the 
utilization rate of CO in the furnace is approximate to 100 percent. The furnace has a small amount of 
coke, low air displacement, a high material temperature and high 
smelting speed and does not have 
nitrogen, so that the utilization coefficient of furnace capacity is improved by more than 10 times compared with that of a 
blast furnace. The standard 
coal consumption in each 
ton of iron is less than 400kg and 
oxygen consumption is less than 320NM<3>, or coal consumption is less than 270kg, 
power consumption is less than 1,000 degrees and the 
oxygen consumption is less than 25NM<3>. The occupied area, investment and employees of a lamp furnace 
ton iron factory cannot reach one fifth of those of a 
blast furnace process. The 
energy consumption of the iron 
alloy reduced by coal electric furnace 
charcoal is lowered to a great extent, and the novel method is suitable for updating and leading the conventional energy-saving and emission-reduction technology of large and medium blast furnaces or submerged arc furnaces.
