The invention provides a method for preparation of sulfuric acid and combined production of fine flour iron through calcination of coal-derived pyrite in presence of oxygen-rich air, which belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of coal-containing pyrite. The method comprises the following steps: delivering pretreated coal-derived pyrite and oxygen-rich air into a fluidized bed roaster for calcination, carrying out cooling and dust collecting on high temperature furnace gas through a water pipe, a waste heat boiler and the like, carrying out cooling and demisting on furnace gasby using a one-stage dynawave scrubber--a packed scrubbing column--a two-stage electric mist collector, supplementing a proper amount of common air before furnace gas enters into a drying column, controlling the volume ratio of oxygen to sulfur dioxide in gas in a converter to be greater than 0.8, carrying out reforming and absorption two times after gas enters into a reforming and absorption system, discharging tail gas when the tail gas reaches the standard, and recovering heat energy of furnace gas, slag and dust, furnace gas treated by an electric dust collector, reforming gas of a reforming system and cyclic acid of an absorption system for by-production of middle and low pressure steam. According to the invention, high-level and middle-level heat energy produced in the process of production of sulfuric acid is fully utilized, and the resource of dilute sulfuric acid is recycled; therefore, the advantages of small production investment, low production cost, a high recovery rate of waste heat, clean production and no pollution in production of sulfuric acid are realized.
