High temperature air combustion is one of the promising technologies for its high effective and low pollutant tendency. Many studies have been made on its fundamental behavior especially on NOx emission. It has been showed that low-NOx tendency in high temperature air combustion can be achieved by the flame with high lift and high radiation. As its advantages confirmed, this technology has been applied to high performance industrial furnaces, non-oxidizing heating furnace and exhaust gas deodorization facilities. Recently, new project to use this new technology for solid fuels like pulverized coal and municipal solid wastes has been started. It has been revealed that same low-NOx tendency can be achieved even for the fuel NOx. This paper represents some basic studies on the fundamentals of high temperature air combustion, investigation on application of this new technology to industrial furnaces and gas deodorization process, and also recent studies to adopt this technology for pulverized coal and municipal solid waste combustion.
