The orthogonal experimental design with CFD simulation was carried out to simulate combustion in the coke oven vertical flue at external flue gas recirculation. The control of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) generation was analysed by different factors such as air excess coefficient, oxidant preheating temperature, flue gas recirculation and oxidizer inlet cross-sectional area ratio. The simulation results showed that the the orthogonal experimental design with CFD had a significant effect on the combustion process. The flue gas recirculation ratio effectively improved the temperature distribution uniformity in the vertical flue, and had a significant effect on NO x production in the vertical flue. Within the parameters of the orthogonal design, when the air excess coefficient was 1.1, the oxidant preheating temperature was 1200 K, the flue gas recirculation ratio was 30%, and the oxidant inlet cross-sectional area ratio was 0.5, the NO x production in the coke oven vertical flue was the smallest, lower than the industry emission standard.
