Flameless or ‘mild’ combustion is a well known measure to reduce NOx-emissions. This work aims at the application of the technique to coal combustors. Experiments have been carried out with lignite as well as bituminous coals showing an overall NOx-reduction capability with the current burner design of about 20–50% depending on fuel type and the stoichiometry at the burner. The most important design feature is a high momentum of the combustion air inducing a strong recirculation which reduces the temperature variations and temperature peaks in the combustion chamber and thus prevents thermal NO formation. An investigation of NOx-emissions under Ar/O2as well as CO2/O2atmospheres was carried out in order to quantify the ratio of fuel- to thermal-NO. This investigation showed a high reduction of thermal NO in the flameless combustion mode. It also showed an increase of fuel-NO which was primarily related to the decrease of the peak flame temperature in flameless combustion. The intensive mixing in flameless combustion also allows a reduction of the oxidiser oxygen concentration under oxyfuel conditions to 15vol % as compared to 17vol % with a standard swirl burner.
