Provided are: a method for manufacturing a carbon fiber; and a system and apparatus comprising a carbon fiber reactor for manufacturing a carbon fiber. The method for manufacturing a carbon fiber according to the present invention comprises the steps of: allowing a carbon fiber seed to be brought into contact with a carbon-metal melt; and forming a carbon fiber by drawing the carbon fiber seed. In addition, the carbon fiber reactor for manufacturing a carbon fiber comprises: a receptacle for accommodating a carbon-metal melt; and a plurality of nozzles, wherein a plurality of menisci for coming into contact with the carbon seeds are formed by the carbon-metal melt through the nozzles so as to manufacture a carbon fiber. 탄소 섬유 시드(seed)를 탄소-금속 용융물에 접촉시키는 단계와, 탄소 섬유 시드를 인발하여 탄소 섬유를 형성하는 단계를 포함하는, 방법. 또한, 탄소 섬유를 제조하기 위한 탄소 섬유 반응기를 포함하는 시스템 및 장치로서, 반응기는 탄소-금속 용융물을 수용하기 위한 리셉터클, 및 복수의 노즐을 포함하고, 탄소 섬유를 제조하도록 탄소 시드와 접촉하기 위한 복수의 메니스커스가 노즐을 통해 탄소-금속 용융물에 의해 형성되는, 시스템 및 장치.
