Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the combustion of waste liquids in connection with recovering of chemicals from the waste liquid, preferably black liquor from pulp production whereby the liquid (5A) is injected at a given level (4) into a furnace (1, 2, 3) in which the liquid (5A) initially is dried and the solid remainder thereafter is pyrolysed and finally burned and the chemicals are assembled on the bottom of the furnace while the exhaust gases (8) are going up through and out from the furnace (1, 2, 3) and whereby a part of the combustion air, so called primary air (11), is supplied at one or more levels (6) below said level (4) of liquid injection (5A) and another part of the combustion air, so called secondary air (12), is supplied at one or more levels (7) between said levels for liquid injection (4) and primary air supply (6) respectively, whereby the secondary air (12) is supplied to the furnace (1, 2, 3) in such a way that the gas is forced to rotate in a plane substantially perpendic
