A process for the treatment of organic matter, comprises the steps of preliminary microwave irradiation in an oxygen-depleted atmosphere to give a black ash-like residue, followed by combustion of the residue to give a white ash. Hence the emissions of carcinogens such as dioxins are substantially reduced as are heavy metals such as Mercury and Cadimum. The apparatus ( 11 ) comprises a single chamber ( 12 ) in which both steps of the process are performed. The apparatus ( 11 ) also comprises means for generating nitrogen- or oxygen-depleted air as well as scrubbers ( 2 ), filters, condensers and the like for treating the gaseous products (carbon dioxide and steam) of the process. The apparatus ( 11 ) may be of a portable and modular nature-and may optionally include a cremulator. |
