High temperature, rapid heating rate and application potential of special reaction conditions (high pressure, high humidity, corrosive atmosphere) made the concentrating photothermal reactor (CPR) become a hot spot in the thermal experimental research. By the 1930s, the concepts of radical reactions and thermal equilibrium concepts had contributed to the formation of theoretical basis of coal combustion. The application of concentrating photothermal reactor in coal combustion research had provided a new perspective for this traditional subject. This paper introduced the structure and characteristics of concentrating photothermal reactor, and summarized the latest research results on the influence of heating rate, oxygen concentration and biomass addition on coal combustion. A potential frontier research direction - pressurized combustion based on concentrating photothermal reactor was also proposed.
