Combustion process having improved temperature distribution
 A method for carrying out combustion in a combustion zone using oxygen or oxygen-enriched air as the oxidant wherein atomized liquid is provided to the combustion zone separate from oxidant and combustible vapors, causing it to be distributed throughout the combustion zone and then, especially after its vaporization, uniformly provided to the combustion reaction with consequent uniform temperature moderation, and resulting in reduced NO.sub.x generation and reduced refractory damage.
