Abstract: The oxygen-enriched combustion of biomass micro fuel (BMF) was carried out respectively in the thermogravimetric analyzer and cyclone furnace to evaluate the effects of oxygen concentration on combustion performance. The experimental results show that with the increasing oxygen concentration, the volatile releasing temperature, ignition temperature and burnout temperature were decreasing. Oxygen-enriched atmosphere subtracts burning time and improves combustion activity of biomass micro fuel. Oxygen-enriched atmosphere improves the combustion temperature of BMF in cyclone furnace; while the improvement is weaken as oxygen concentration is above 40%.
