主权项

1. A pyrolysis process for domestic or municipal waste which comprises the steps of:
a) steam purge of a domestic or municipal waste in a media: and b) pyrolysis of said domestic or municipal waste in said media using a catalyst and a microwave for a time sufficient to allow generation of heat providing a thermal treatment between 300° C. and 600° C. through absorption of microwaves by said catalyst and said media wherein said catalyst comprises a carbon-based compound to absorb microwaves, transfer heat to microwave-transparent waste and initiate a pyrolysis reaction, and wherein said carbon based compound is the carbonaceous residue from a previously performed pyrolysis reaction.
