Burner and combustion method for solid fuels

1. A solid-fuel burner, comprising a fuel nozzle for injecting a mixed fluid with a mixture of solid fuel and air as a carrier gas thereof, a plurality of air nozzles provided on the outside of the fuel nozzle for surrounding the fuel nozzle; an end portion of an inner circumferential wall of the air nozzle being located at least at the outermost circumference of the air nozzle and provided with an outwardly expanding portion, an inductive member provided at an outlet of the air nozzle and located at least on the outermost circumference so as to direct flow of air in the direction of outer circumference, and a guide member provided in an upstream portion of the inductive member parallel to a throat section of outer circumferential wall of the air nozzle,

wherein the inductive member is operatively connected to the guide member, and the length of the guide member is no greater than half of the length of the throat section of the outer circumferential wall of the air nozzle.

2. A solid-fuel burner according to claim 1 , wherein an outermost circumferential one of the air nozzles further comprises, in sequential order from an upstream side of the air flow, a first flow path where air flows radially toward the burner's central axis, a second flow oath where air flows in the direction parallel to the burner's central axis, and an injection portion where air is directed and injected in the direction of the outer circumference of the air nozzle by the inductive member and the outwardly expanded portion of the air nozzle.
