In this work, the combustion and radiation characteristics of high-moisture coal treated with liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) at high pressure were examined. The coal conversion and gas yield were measured to determine the combustion rate constants at four different temperatures. The particle temperature and radiative heat flux emitted from the burning coal bed were measured using a two-color pyrometer and radiometer, respectively. The changes in the moisture content of the coal microstructure after LCO2 treatment were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The combustion kinetic results showed faster LCO2–coal slurry combustion, which frequently occurred at low temperatures. The particle temperature and radiative heat flux of the LCO2–coal slurry increased faster to higher steady-state values than those of raw coal. The influence of LCO2 on the combustion of high-moisture coal was not observed on graphite devoid of water or volatile content. This indicates an effective exchange between LCO2 and water in coal micropores when coal is exposed to LCO2. In addition to the TGA data, the LCO2 drying mechanism in high-moisture coal was confirmed using NMR relaxation data. The performance of the LCO2 drying process was compared with that of the conventional boiler with oven drying unit in terms of the water removal effect, combustion, and radiation behavior. An energy analysis was undertaken to calculate the amount of total energy produced from three power cycles occurring in a high-pressure boiler, including one combining the LCO2 drying cycle with the steam power cycle.
