Abstract: Regenerative combustion represents an efficient and energy-saving combustion technology that significantly enhances thermal efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes pollutant emissions by recovering and reusing heat energy. This technology has found extensive applications in traditional industries, such as chemical engineering, coating, and printing, as well as in contemporary fields, including food processing and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, advancements in the optimization of combustion devices and the development of efficient catalysts have successfully reduced the combustion temperature for treating organic waste gases while simultaneously improving pollutant removal efficiency. This paper reviews the current status of regenerative combustion technology, summarizes key achievements, analyzes the challenges faced in industrial applications, and anticipates future research directions.
