The invention relates to an environmentally-friendly energy-saving combustion improver for coal, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 1-50 parts of sodium chloride, 20-60 parts of sodium hydroxide, 20-60 parts of sodium carbonate, 20-50 parts of potassium carbonate, 20-40 parts of potassium nitrate, 15-60 parts of manganese dioxide, 25-75 parts of barium hydroxide, 30-80 parts of nickel oxide, 20-60 parts of magnesium sulphate, 50-100 parts of magnesium nitrate, 30-80 parts of strontium hydroxide and 30-50 parts of calcium carbonate. Multiple tests show that: combustion time of coal is prolonged, the coal can be completely combusted, and ignition temperature is reduced, thus the coal is difficult to coke, coked substances in a container are eliminated, and dust and smoke are eliminated and desulphurization is carried out, thus the coal is fully burned, the thermal efficiency is improved, non-metallic elements such as sulphur in the coal burning are effectively deposited into the coal, emission of harmful gas in acid gases such as nitric oxide and sulphur dioxide and the dust is reduced, and environmental pollution is reduced. Thus the aims of protecting the environment and saving energy sources are achieved. The environmentally-friendly energy-saving combustion improver is convenient, safe and reliable to use and has obvious economic benefit and social benefit.
