<p>The invention concerns a method for treating humid waste containing an oxidable organic material, characterised in that it comprises the following steps: (a) introducing the waste in a rotary kiln provided with a refractory coating and containing a heat transferring material; (b) heating the waste mixed with the heat transferring material at a temperature of at least 300 °C in the presence of chemically active species and electrically generated UV rays, while causing the kiln to rotate, so as to dewater the waste and cause oxidation of the organic material and gas formation, the oxidation being catalysed by the chemically active species and the UV radiation; and (c) evacuating the gases from the kiln. Such a method enables to destroy inexpensively any polluting and/or oxidable toxic material contained in the treated waste.</p> |
