MILD oxy-coal combustion technology is a prospective technology with the potential for CO2capture and storage, and it is characterized by the intense flue gas recirculation to preheat the fuel and to dilute the oxidizer due to the oxidizer or fuel jet with high velocity. The effect of the primary oxidizer stream jet velocities ranging from 1.7 m/s to 11.2 m/s on the coal ignition and combustion characteristics were experimentally investigated on a flat flame pulverized coal burner at various oxygen concentrations of 5%-21% and gas temperatures of 1473–1873 K under O2/CO2and O2/N2atmospheres. The coal flame images were recorded by the digital camera, and the flame structure evolution and ignition delay times of coal particles were analyzed at different primary oxidizer stream jet velocities and hot coflow conditions. The coal combustion radiation spectrum was monitored by an optical fiber spectrometer and the coal particle temperatures were derived with the two-color pyrometry. The results showed that the bright yellow soot flame gradually disappeared with the decrease of O2concentration when CO2replaced N2. The difference of ignition delay times between O2/CO2atmosphere and O2/N2atmosphere decreased from 2.8 ms to 0.2 ms when the primary air jet velocity increased from 1.7 m/s to 11.2 m/s at 1473 K and 5% O2. This meant the elevated jet velocity was beneficial to offset the delayed effect of the physicochemical properties of CO2on coal ignition. The peak coal particle temperature increased by 68 K at 1873 K and 5% O2under O2/CO2atmosphere with the highest jet velocity owing to the accelerated diffusion of O2into coal particle stream. Moreover, a dimensionless coal particle temperature parameterηwas proposed to characterize the variation of the peak coal particle temperature caused by the improved heat transfer and mass transport between the coflow and coal particles under high jet velocity. The maximum value ofηwas 1.053 at 1873 K and 21% O2under O2/CO2atmosphere with the jet velocity of 11.2 m/s, indicating the increased jet velocity had the predominant effect on the increase of peak particle temperature at high gas temperature and O2concentration.
