Inorganic fiber production burner apparatus and methods of use are disclosed. One burner includes a refractory block adapted to be in fluid connection with sources of primary oxidant and fuel, the refractory block having a fuel and primary oxidant entrance end and a flame exit end, the flame exit end having a substantially rectangular flame exit having a width greater than its height, the refractory block defining a combustion chamber and a second chamber fluidly connecting the combustion chamber and the flame exit end; and an oxygen manifold fluidly connected to the combustion chamber and adapted to route oxygen to the combustion chamber through a plurality of passages through the refractory block. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

1. An apparatus comprising: a refractory block defining a refractory slot and a substantially rectangular flame exit end having a width greater than its height;a plurality of oxygen conduits in a first horizontal plane having inlet ends and outlet ends, the inlet ends fluidly connected to a source of oxygen, and the outlet ends fluidly connected to an entrance to the refractory slot at an entrance end of the refractory block;a plurality of fuel conduits in a second horizontal plane and substantially parallel thereto, the plurality of fuel conduits having inlet ends and outlet ends, the inlet ends fluidly connected to a source of fuel, and the outlet ends fluidly connected to the entrance to the refractory slot;wherein the refractory slot defines a recess wherein the ends of the oxygen conduits and the ends of the fuel conduits are recessed from an exit of the refractory slot, and the plurality of oxygen conduits and the plurality of fuel conduits are adapted to disperse the fuel and the oxygen uniformly and begin combusting the fuel in the refractory slot, the refractory slot adapted to direct a flame toward primary fibers to be fiberized. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein a ratio of number of oxygen conduits to fuel conduits ranges from about 1 to about 5. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein all of the oxygen conduits are circular in cross-section and have the same diameter, and wherein all of the fuel conduits are circular in cross-section and have the same diameter. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the oxygen conduits are all equal in length, and all fuel conduits are equal in length. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the recess defined by the refractory slot has a width W, a depth D, and a height H within the following ranges: W/H ranges from about 10 to about 100; W/D ranges from about 4 to about 12; and wherein a ratio of length of oxygen conduits and fuel conduits to depth of recess D ranges from about 5 to about 10. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 comprising a controller adapted to control combustion temperature by monitoring one or more parameters selected from velocity of the fuel, velocity of the primary oxidant, mass flow rate of the fuel, mass flow rate of the primary oxidant, energy content of the fuel, temperature of the fuel as it enters the burner, temperature of the primary oxidant as it enters the burner, pressure of the oxidant entering the burner, humidity of the primary oxidant, burner geometry, oxidation ratio, and combinations thereof. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the second horizontal plane lies below the first horizontal plane. 8. A process comprising: a) flowing oxygen through a plurality of oxygen conduits into a refractory slot of a refractory block, the plurality of oxygen conduits lying in a first horizontal plane having inlet ends and outlet ends, the inlet ends fluidly connected to a source of oxygen, and the outlet ends fluidly connected to an entrance to a refractory slot at an entrance end of the refractory block, the refractory block further defining a substantially rectangular flame exit end having a width greater than its height;b) flowing a fuel fluid through a plurality of fuel conduits in a second horizontal plane and substantially parallel to the first horizontal plane into the refractory slot, the plurality of fuel conduits having inlet ends and outlet ends, the inlet ends fluidly connected to a source of fuel, and the outlet ends fluidly connected to the entrance to the refractory slot;c) combusting the fuel in the refractory slot to form a substantially flat flame, the refractory slot defining a recess wherein the ends of the oxygen conduits and the ends of the fuel conduits are recessed from an exit of the refractory slot, the plurality of oxygen conduits and the plurality of fuel conduits dispersing the fuel and the oxygen uniformly in the recess;d) directing the substantially flat flame to intersect a primary fiber; ande) attenuating and fiberizing the primary fiber to form a plurality of fibers. 9. The process of claim 8 wherein the fuel is a gaseous fuel, the gaseous fuel is selected from methane, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, steam-reformed natural gas, atomized oil or mixtures thereof, and the oxygen stream comprises at least 90 mole percent oxygen. 10. The process of claim 8 comprising controlling flame temperature by monitoring one or more parameters selected from velocity of the fuel, velocity of the oxygen, mass flow rate of the fuel, mass flow rate of the oxygen, energy content of the fuel, temperature of the fuel as it enters the burner, temperature of the oxygen as it enters the burner, pressure of the oxygen entering the burner, humidity of the oxygen, burner geometry, oxidation ratio, and combinations thereof, and employs a control algorithm to control combustion temperature based on one or more of these input parameters.
