The invention relates to an Incineration apparatus, comprising a fluidized bed redox reactor (2) having—a reaction chamber (8) with particulate matter and—a fluidized bottom with at least one reducing agent inlet (9) for a gas to fluidize the particulate matter.

A burner for producing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of liquid or gaseous, carbon-containing fuels in the presence of an oxygen-containing oxidant and a moderator, which burner can be operated uncooled, i.e. without a fluid coolant being passed through the burner, is proposed. Steam or carbon dioxide or else mixtures of these materials are used as moderator. This is achieved by the feed channels being configured so that mixing of the fuel, the moderator and the oxidant occurs only outside the burner.

A method and device heat an object to be heated by a flame which is produced by supplying a fuel fluid and a combustion supporting gas to a burner as a heat, source. A temperature rising rate is increased by gradually increasing an oxygen concentration in the combustion supporting gas supplied to the burner and a device for heating an object to be heated including a burner for heating the object to be heated. A flow rate control unit controls a flow rate of a fuel fluid and a combustion supporting gas. A calculation unit transmits combustion information of the burner to the flow rate control unit, and the flow rate control unit increases a temperature rising rate of the object to be heated by increasing the oxygen concentration in the combustion supporting gas supplied to the burner.

The present disclosure provides a carbon-based oxygen-enriched combustion method for recirculation of flue gas from a cement kiln. The combustion method includes recirculating the flue gas generated by the cement kiln to a certain degree to concentrate and enrich carbon dioxide in the flue gas of the cement kiln, mixing the carbon dioxide-rich recirculating flue gas of the cement kiln with the pressurized oxygen to obtain the carbon-based oxygen-enriched products, and mixing the carbon-based oxygen-enriched products with the atmospheric-pressure oxygen to obtain carbon-based air which serves as combustion-supporting gas of the cement kiln.
