The invention provides a swirl pulverized coal burning device and method adopting flue gas recirculation and relates to the technical field of industrial pulverized coal boilers. The swirl pulverizedcoal burning device and method aim at solving the problems that an existing industrial pulverized coal boiler is high in NOx emission, serious in slagging and bad in burn-out effect. The burning device comprises a primary air pipe, a direct-current secondary air pipe, a swirl inside secondary air pipe, a swirl outside secondary air pipe, a recirculation flue gas pipeline and a hearth. The primaryair pipe, the direct-current secondary air pipe, the swirl inside secondary air pipe and the swirl outside secondary air pipe are sequentially arranged from inside to outside. The inlet end of the primary air pipe is connected with the outlet end of a pulverized coal pipeline. The outlet end of the recirculation flue gas pipeline is connected with the inlet ends of the direct-current secondary airpipe, the swirl inside secondary air pipe and the swirl outside secondary air pipe. An inner axial swirl blade is arranged in the swirl inside secondary air pipe. An outer axial swirl blade is arranged in the swirl outside secondary air pipe. The burning method comprises the steps of flue gas mixing, flowing speed control, flue gas proportion adjusting and ignition. The swirl pulverized coal burning device and method are used for industrial pulverized powder boilers.
