A process and an apparatus for the sterilisation of waste, especially hospital waste, is described, in which plastic containers filled with the waste are first introduced into a lock chamber, in which a preliminary conveyor belt is arranged, and the entire charge of the lock chamber is then conveyed into a sterilisation chamber in which a main conveyor belt is arranged. The sterilisation chamber is then hermetically sealed, and injection needles are inserted into the respective containers in order to inject water and/or a disinfectant into the inside of the respective plastic containers. The waste is then treated with microwave energy, and the charge in the sterilisation chamber is then discharged via a discharge opening. By means of the process and the apparatus according to the invention, it is possible to ensure at all times that the waste in the inside of the plastic containers is adequately saturated with water or a disinfectant, either before or during the microwave irradiation. <IMAGE> |
